Error importing datepicker with npm install ng2-datepicker

[jkuri]

Are you using SystemJS loader?

[matstank]

I am using SystemJS loader in my app, but did not want to use it for DatePicker.
This may be a problem for me though, and it looks like an issue might also be that since I am also not including moment in the SystemJS loader that ng2-datepicker is also unable to import moment.

[jkuri]

Yes, that might be an issue. Please try including ng2-datepicker as I wrote in the readme.. If that won't work, I can prepare standalone .js file which can be included as <script src="...."></script>.

[matstank]

Adding moment and ng2-datepicker into systemjs loader corrected the issues.
The readme does not note that this is a required step and also has an example with ng2-slimscroll instead of datepicker.

It would be very nice if this component could just be imported in the standard angular2 way with
" import {DatePicker} from 'node_modules/ng2-datepicker' " without having to alter systemjs loader with this and with moment.

Otherwise, well done and thanks for the component.

Thanks for noticing error in readme, I fixed it. No problem, glad you find it useful.

Jan,
thanks again for your work on this library. i'm new to all these build tools. if i'm using webpack, i'm getting a reference error because the .js uses System.*

Do I have to abandon webpack for SystemJS to use your application in my application?

Thanks,

[jkuri]

Actually I never tried to use webpack so I can't give you an answer. This components bundle is configured to work with SystemJS and is also compatible with the official Angular CLI install command.

@matstank can you provide example of what you did to make this work.. I am getting 404 not found from node modules. I am not using system.js I am using system.config.js provided by angular quickstart. I tried adding ng2-datepicker: npm:ng2-datepicker to that file and moment but still getting the error.

I am using this date picker with webpack and it goes well if i use 1.4.x version but as soon as i update my version during webpack build i am getting this error:

ERROR in js/app.91f246157135884dd7d1.js from UglifyJs
SyntaxError: Unexpected token: punc ({) [./~/ng2-datepicker/lib-dist/ng2-datepicker.module.js:1,0]

is this problem with datepicker or i need to configure differently for webpack?
