How to find the namespace to import from for Angular 2?

All:

I am pretty new to ES6/TYPESCRIPT/Angular2, when I went thru the tutorial of Angular2 official site, the first thing confuses me is:

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';

My question is:

What is that "angular2/core"? is that a module directory? or just a namespace string? When I use a component or module, how/where do I find this part?

Thanks

You might wanna read this part this from doc first

import {AppComponent} from './app.component'; The import statement tells the system it can get an AppComponent from a module named app.component located in a neighboring file. The module name (AKA module id) is often the same as the filename without its extension.

and this

module-name: The name of the module to import. This is a file name.

It should mean a file called core.js, which is here.

And since the module name is the same with filename, so you can see it is from a module called core.

Where to find this ?

for example, if you want to use http service.

look it up in the document api

https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/

http is under angular2/http section

I think that is a good clue that you should import this from angular2/http
