strophe with typescript

[Ahmet Eroglu]

Hello I want to use this library in my project, in order to do it, I installed following packages,

npm install --save strophe.js
npm install --save @type/strophe
and then I import the typing with ,
import {Strophe} from "strophe"; in my ts file.
But when I compile my typescript file,I get the followin error.

Error: Cannot find module 'strophe'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25)
at Module.require (module.js:596:17)

I've been trying to solve this since forever, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello Ahmet

I managed to get it working by doing:

npm install --save strophe.js
npm install --save @types/strophe  (note the spelling here)

Then I went into the node_modules folder and renamed the subfolder in @types from 'strophe' to 'strophe.js'.

Then do 

import { Strophe } from "strophe.js"

I haven't got any code working yet, but the definitions seem to work.

Enter code here...
