I am developing application using Angular2. I am trying to import and use external library 'benchmark.js'. So, I install it using 'npm i --save benchmark'. The dependencies of package.json is like following.
"name": "angular2-webpack",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "A webpack starter for Angular",
"scripts": {
"start": "webpack-dev-server --inline --progress --port 8080",
"test": "karma start",
"build": "rimraf dist && webpack --config config/webpack.prod.js --progress --profile --bail"
},
"license": "MIT",
"dependencies": {
"@angular/common": "~2.3.0",
"@angular/compiler": "~2.3.0",
"@angular/core": "~2.3.0",
"@angular/forms": "~2.3.0",
"@angular/http": "~2.3.0",
"@angular/platform-browser": "~2.3.0",
"@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~2.3.0",
"@angular/router": "~3.3.0",
"benchmark": "^2.1.3",
"core-js": "^2.4.1",
"reflect-metadata": "^0.1.8",
"rxjs": "5.0.0-rc.4",
"systemjs": "0.19.40",
"zone.js": "^0.7.2"
},
And then, I run 'npm install', if I look at the node_modules, there is benchmark directory. But when I tried to import using 'import Suite from 'benchmark'', it gives me error like 'Cannot fine module 'benchmark'. I thought I can import the Suite object like Observable from rxjs. I applied the exactly same way I did for Observable. Anyway, how I am able to use benchmark.js in my component.
