Using Parse as a module in Angular2

Question

I am new to Angular2 and TypeScript and I am trying to import Parse into my application. So I have installed parse as a node module using npm install parse --save and I can see the parse folder inside the node_modules folder. Now, in my app.ts file, I am trying the following code but I don't know why is this giving errors.

import {Parse} from 'parse';

It gives the error that it

cannot find the module 'parse'

.

I also tried the following code,

import {} from 'parse'

and it works without errors but I don't know how do I use the Parse object now.

Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No, could you please tell me what should be the path of the src, I have tried ../node_modules/... but not working. — Samarth Agarwal

I had the same problem (Here is it solved). I put the step by step how i solved it here.

Install Parse component to the project
```
npm install parse --save
```
Install Parse types
```
npm install @types/parse --save
```
import Parse module
```
const Parse: any = require('parse');
```
use Parse module
```
Parse.initialize("key");
...
```

Hope it helps;)

You need to declare the parse module so that is recognized by typescript.

You can declare the parsemodule yourself with something like this:

declare module 'parse' {
    var parse: any;
    export { parse };
    export default parse;
}

Or you can use the typing definitions provided by Definitely Typed: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/tsd
