angular2 how to import Window

I have created a global env variable called env.js which I can use outside angular, however I want to use the same env variable in angular2.

(function (window) {
 window.__env = window.__env || {};
   window.__env.baseUrl= 'http://www.examplesite.com/1';
  window.__env.otherUrl = 'http://www.examplesite.com/2';
  window.__env.baseUrl = '/';
}(this));

however when I use window.__env.baseUrl it gives me an error of .__env.baseUrl does not exist on type Window. So just wondering how can I import Window so it'd allow me to use .__env.baseUrl.

That's because the compiler checks the type, and it only knows the "common" properties of the window object.

You can "use" global variables like this:

declare var xxx: any;

export class .... {

}

In your case it would be:

declare var __env: any;
