How to install and import paperjs for Angular 2?

Question

I tried installing paperjs by using the command

sudo npm install paper

in my angular app folder. Paper seems to appear in node_modules folder, however when I try to import it using

import { Paper } from '@paper'

it doesn't find paper module. How do I include the paper module in angular2?

I did the following to get it working:

npm install paper --save
npm install @types/paper --save

In systemjs.comfig.js add a map for paper

map:
    ...

    'paper': 'npm:paper/dist/paper-core.js'
},

In the component

import { PaperScope, Path, Point } from 'paper';

Note for Ionic2 users: You can skip the systemjs.config.js part. – mshamma Aug 03 '17 at 05:37

instead of map thingy, I've added this: `"node_modules/paper/dist/paper-full.js",` in the angular.json under build/scripts and then imported in the component as above. – Edwin Aug 26 '21 at 11:27

Following this thread there is no official typescript support yet. However, there is an unofficial typescript definition for paperJS here
