How to use 'crypto' module in Angular2?

Question

I install module:

npm install --save crypto

I import it to my component:

import { createHmac } from "crypto";

But I get error:

ERROR in -------------- (4,28): Canno t find module 'crypto'.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I am developing with the latest versions of Angular and 'crypto-js' seems to work fine.

Install the package and the definitions:

npm install crypto-js
npm install --save @types/crypto-js

Use it:

import { SHA256, enc } from "crypto-js";
...
login() {
...
   const hashedPass = SHA256(this.loginForm.value.password).toString(enc.Hex);
...
}
