Angular2: How to load NPM modules using system.js?

Question

I am experimenting practice apps with Angular2 and wanted to know way to include npm modules in Angular2 app.

For example, I am trying to use Angular-uuid npm module and could not find proper way to achieve this. The module files are downloaded in /node_modules directory and also added to package.json and I am using system.js.

1) One of the option was to use sytem.import("angular-uuid"), however I still could not get module identified. 2) Do we have to still use <script src=" "></script> 3) Can we import as import * as angular-uuid from "angular-uuid";

What is the recommended way of adding npm modules?

Did you try using JSPM?

angular2 has its own UUID module if you want to use:

npm install angular2-uuid --save

Then in your component you can import it as :

import { UUID } from 'angular2-uuid';

To generate UUIDs:

let uuid = UUID.UUID();
console.log(uuid);

Hope this helps.
