Was trying out different ways like targeting ES6, but couldn’t get it to working. Appreciate any help on this.

You need to install the typings

npm install -g typings --save

Then in your project folder

typings install

using ‘typings’ cli did not resolve the issue for me when using angular 2.4.1. It seems angular2 has changed the way it deals with typings dependencies and instead of relying on typings definitions from the typings cli, it’s done through npm and the tsconfig.json file. So you no longer need to install the typings npm module. Instead install the @types/core-js npm package:

npm install --save-dev @types/core-js

Make sure your tsconfig.json file has the ‘types’ property defined. Here’s what my tsconfig.json file looks like. You may have to modify the path to typeRoots to add/remove …/ depending on your setup.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "lib": [ "es2015", "dom" ],
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
    "typeRoots": [
      "../../node_modules/@types/"
    ],
    "types" : [
      "core-js"
    ]
  },
  "compileOnSave": true,
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules/*",
    "**/*-aot.ts"
  ]
}

Hey, @bogusred, I am also running into this issue with 2.4.1. I configured “typeRoots” to match my setup, but I am getting error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for ‘core-js’. Any suggestions?

Update: i was missing “lib”: [“es2015”, “dom”] from my compilerOptions. Now compilation is successful. I noticed that I didn’t need “types” set and that the Angular Quickstart tutorial doesn’t set that property either.
