如何在angular2-meteor项目中正确添加使用Meteor包？

Question

I am writing an angular2-meteor program.

When I am using urigo:angular2-meteor package, I add reference path like this:

/// <reference path="../typings/angular2-meteor.d.ts" />

The question is: can I use other normal meteor packages in a angular2-meteor project? Or I can only use some packages written for angular2-meteor specifically.

For example, if I want to use yuukan:streamy , how can I use it correctly? Right now, I have one line code

Streamy.broadcast('hello', {data: 'world!'});

When I compile it, it shows: Cannot find name 'Streamy'.

Thanks!

Answer 1

you can use all the libraries from meteor.

you will have 2 choices.

1. find the streamy definition file (streamy.d.ts) if it exists. This will give you autocompletion and compile errors if you misuse streamy functions.
2. If you dont find a definition file than just add declare var Streamy at the top of the file you want to use it. The library is already there if you add it via atmosphere . But typescript does not know about it. By declaring the variable you tell typescript that this exists and it wont complain when compiling.
