How do i use lodash with Ionic 2?

Question

I've just started working on a new project, using Ionic 2. I'm new to TypeScript, and have been trying to figure out how to include lodash to my project.

Is there anyone out there who has done this, and can point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

1. Install lodash with npm from your terminal:

   $:npm i -S lodash 
   // npm install --save lodash (--save,-S saves to package.json)
   

2. Import lodash in your component like this:

   import * as _ from 'lodash';
   

Answer 2

Starting from Ionic 2 RC0 you have to do the following.

npm install @types/lodash --save-dev --save-exact

and import it like

import _ from 'lodash';
