Import JSZip in Angular 2 project

I am having troubles while importing the JSZip library in my Angular 2 project. I followed the following steps in order to change the project configuration:

1 - Install JSZip using NPM

npm install jszip --save

2 - Change systemjs.config.js as follows

var map = {
    ...
    'jszip':                      'node_modules/jszip/dist/jszip.min.js'
};

3 - Import the dependency within the component that requires it

import JSZip from 'jszip';

Then, I tried using the main JSZip constructor to attach some files, but I am getting a web error stating that the constructor is not defined. Besides, the Typescript editor I am using is not able to find the definition for it.

Did I miss something?

Thank you.

With the current JSZip version (3.10.1), we need to use this command:

import JSZip from 'jszip';

then use:

let zipFile: JSZip = new JSZip();

After google for a while, I had to read the typescript code of JSZip to find out this. Hope this will help someone else.

For those who want to know how it ended, the problem was in the import. The following is the correct import:

import * as JSZip from 'jszip';

Then, it is used as follows:

let zipFile: JSZip = new JSZip();

There is a typo and it should be:

import * as JSZip from 'jszip';
let zipFile: JSZip = new JSZip();
