@evenstar I created the project using `create react app` and generated the scaffolding using `yo office` [yeoman office generator](https://github.com/OfficeDev/generator-office). I selected the typescript option while generating. And webpack is used. — Joseph Abraham, Jul 04 '18 at 07:32

Click here to open a related guide on how to update the app after you installed the office.js

Note that the guide pulled the library into public/index.html from CDN so you don't have to install it via NPM. Maybe use this technique to get started first?

<script src="https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com/lib/1/hosted/office.js"></script>

Since the office.js file injects directly into the global scopes, you can access the APIs from the window object. You can find details in that guide.

window.Office.doSomething()
window.Excel.doSomething()
window.Word.doSomething()
