How do I include JavaScript Modules into my Angular-Cli App

Question

I have downloaded the open source library QuillJS as a stand alone project. I have added that folder containing Quill into my Angular Cli app. Based on the Quill Docs, I believe I need to include Quill.js in my scripts for Angular Cli to be able to use the library.

However, Quill uses JavaScript Modules, which I have pulled right from their Git Hub and when my Angular app runs Quill.js errors out with this error:

I know the reference is accurate, but I don't think Angular knows how to handle the references. I am trying to edit the open source code of Quill locally and test my changes, but I can not get my app to compile correctly. What I am missing here?

You have two options:

1. add the script to your index.html file

2. Add it in the .angular-cli.json file in apps:[ "scripts: [] ] for example:

   apps: [ "scripts": [ "./Quill/Quill.js" ] ]
