Angular 2: reference error can't find variable require

Question

I'm trying to include this zookeeper's library in my Angular 2 project. I'm following this tutorial , so I created the app, installed the node-zookeeper-client with rpm, and then added ../node_modules/node-zookeeper-client/index.js to my script array in the .angular-cli.json.

If I start the application, in the console I see an error like ReferenceError: Can't find variable: require that points to the first line of the index.js file.

Which is the correct approach to import a third party library like zookeeper?

Thanks

Here's how you should solve it if you are using angular cli. In your

src/typings.d.ts

paste the below code. It will work like charm

declare var require: any;

Hope this will help
