Protocol Buffers in Angular 2 project

Question

I am developing an Angular 2 app in which I want to use Protocol Buffers to send data to a Go server.

I found this dcodeIO/protobufjs. But I don't understand how should I use this in my project?

I also tried installing the typings for protobufjs using typings install dt~protobufjs --global. When I import it, WebStorm says Cannot find module protobuf.

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

I solved it! I did this npm install @types/protobufjs --save and I got the type definitions.

Then simply used it like this import * as ProtoBuf from 'protobufjs';

Thanks!
