How to load bootstrap.js, jQuery and other modules in Angular2 app using SystemJS

Question

I'm new to angular2, npm and systemjs and I can't figure out how to load and use downloaded node_modules. Let's say I want to load first jQuery and then bootstrap. I modified my systemjs but there are some errors...

Errors:

(index):21 Error: Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery(…)(anonymous function) @ (index):21ZoneDelegate.invoke @ zone.js:323Zone.run @ zone.js:216(anonymous function) @ zone.js:571ZoneDelegate.invokeTask @ zone.js:356Zone.runTask @ zone.js:256drainMicroTaskQueue @ zone.js:474ZoneTask.invoke @ zone.js:426 (index):20 Error: ReferenceError: module is not defined(…)

Thanks guys. I also had the problem that I didn't installed jQuery but jQuery Node. Due to I'm new to all of this I had no clue there is a difference. — phip1611

Here is how you can load jquery and bootstrap with systemjs #

installation

npm install --save-dev bootstrap jquery

Adding main files in systemjs.config.js

'bootstrap':                  'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js',
'jquery':                     'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js'

Using it in your project in main.ts

import "jquery";
import  "bootstrap";

That's it you have jquery and bootstrap in your build

Source code
