I first tested using the commonjs module that I installed like this:
npm install the-module;
I then created main.js which looked something like this:
var module = require('the-module');
module.doStuff();
Then compiled main.js with webpack into bundle.js, loaded it in the browser, and it did stuff.
Now I want to use the-module inside an angular 4 service. How should I import it?
I also found this article on how to create an angular 2 component library. Curious whether this set of steps is required for all commonjs modules that will be imported by Angular or whether there is a more direct approach?
