Cannot find module 'forcejs'. while using angular 2 in ionic 2

[KaushikRay]

I am working as a noob on my ionic 2 / ang 2 application. I am trying to set it up to use forcejs auth implementation.

Now I create a basic app following the ionic 2 tutorial here - http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/getting-started/tutorial/

Now I am trying to integrate my force js implementation based on - http://coenraets.org/blog/2015/10/integrating-ecmascript-6-web-applications-with-salesforce-using-oauth-and-rest/

Now on app initialization I want to login using SF dev creds and Oauth.

I did a forcejs install using

npm install forcejs --save-dev

And in my app.ts file I am trying to import same. App.ts -

import {Component, ViewChild} from '@angular/core';
import {ionicBootstrap, Platform, MenuController, Nav} from 'ionic-angular';
import {StatusBar} from 'ionic-native';
import {HelloIonicPage} from './pages/hello-ionic/hello-ionic';
import {ListPage} from './pages/list/list';

//ERROR on this line - TypeScript error: app/app.ts(7,24): Error TS2307: Cannot find module 'forcejs'
// wbile doing a gulp build
import * as force from 'forcejs';


@Component({
  templateUrl: 'build/app.html'
})
class MyApp {
  @ViewChild(Nav) nav: Nav;

  // make HelloIonicPage the root (or first) page
  rootPage: any = HelloIonicPage;
  pages: Array<{title: string, component: any}>;

  constructor(
    private platform: Platform,
    private menu: MenuController
  ) {
    this.initializeApp();

    // set our app's pages
    this.pages = [
      { title: 'Hello Ionic', component: HelloIonicPage },
      { title: 'My First List', component: ListPage }
    ];
  }

  initializeApp() {
    this.platform.ready().then(() => {
      // Okay, so the platform is ready and our plugins are available.
      // Here you can do any higher level native things you might need.

      // Login in Salesforce using forcejs
      force.init({
          proxyURL: "https://dev-cors-proxy.herokuapp.com/"
      });

      force.login().then(() => {
          console.log("logged in");
      });

      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    });
  }

  openPage(page) {
    // close the menu when clicking a link from the menu
    this.menu.close();
    // navigate to the new page if it is not the current page
    this.nav.setRoot(page.component);
  }
}

ionicBootstrap(MyApp);

Now check top of the page for imports

TypeScript error: app/app.ts(7,24): Error TS2307: Cannot find module
'forcejs'

I can see forcejs under node_modules folder but not sure now how to import same.

Please help with same.

Hello Kaushik, Just wondering if you had chance to fix this issue. I am facing a similar issue on my Ionic2 app. Would appreciate if you shed any lights on this.

I solved this issue by copying the force.js and pasting it in app folder, next to app.ts. I also renamed the force.js to force.ts. Then I could reference it in app.ts like this:

import * as force from './force';

with the current version it works also with:
import { OAuth, DataService } from 'forcejs';
