Lodash ambient setup errors

[gsans]

Great starter kit. Thanks!

I'd like to report that during npm start I experienced these errors:

ERROR in /Users/gerardsans/Desktop/Projects/graphql/angular2-apollo-client-webpack-starter/typings/globals/ambient/index.d.ts
(4,25): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'lodash/index'.

Did the app still start though? You might need to run npm install if it didn't work.

Yes, it worked but I don't like having errors on my console.

Good news is I already found a fix! :smile:

You can run:

npm run typings install lodash --ambient

Then replace angular2-apollo-client-webpack-starter/ambient.d.ts:

declare module 'lodash.has' {
  import main = require('~lodash/index');
  export = main.has;
}

with

declare module 'lodash.has' {
  import main = require('lodash');
  export = main.has;
}

I also had to comment out the same module declaration at angular2-apollo-client-webpack-starter/typings/globals/ambient/index.d.ts

Thanks for the update!

Same issues, never able to get it start. Really love the vision, but the boilerplates are making the on-ramp for this service a little hard to use.

What errors do you get after running the above commands to update the module declarations?
