angular2: Cannot find module '@angular/core'

Question

I followed the angular2 quick start to create my project and everything works fine but my "tsc -w" command line keeps on telling me:

app/components/company/company.ts(1,36): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@angular/core'.
app/components/company/company.ts(5,22): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@angular/router'.
app/components/mission/mission.ts(1,36): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@angular/core'.
app/components/mission/mission.ts(3,22): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@angular/router'.

And there is plenty of other line like this. However, everything is compiled successfully and my application works fine, but it's quite annoying to have all these warnings/errors as real errors something get lost in the middle of them.

I'm using Angular2 rc1, TypeScript 1.8.10, WebStorm EAP (altough I'm not using the WebStorm TypeScript compilation system, I'm relying on an open terminal with "tsc -w" command line).

I checked other question related to that on SO, but I didn't find anything that really helped me.

Update

Here is my tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "module": "system",
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "outDir": "js",
    "rootDir": "app"
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "typings/main",
    "typings/main.d.ts"
  ]
}

Answer 1

You first need to add typings at global level as below.

npm install -g typings

Then create typings.json using below command.

typings init

Paste below code in typings.json

{
  "name": "ng2-application",
  "globalDependencies": {
    "core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160725163759",
    "jasmine": "registry:dt/jasmine#2.2.0+20160621224255",
    "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160909174046"
  }
}

Now you need to add below code in tsconfig.json

 "compilerOptions": {
        "moduleResolution": "node"
       }

After doing above steps you will able to get definitions on F12.

Answer 2

You should use the moduleResolution attribute to node:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "module": "system",
    "moduleResolution": "node", // <-----
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "outDir": "js",
    "rootDir": "app"
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "typings/main",
    "typings/main.d.ts"
  ]
}
