Heroku deploy error: "Cannot find name 'require'."

Question

Deploying my Angular 2 Node-based application to Heroku triggered this error:

Add @types/node as an application dependency:

npm install @types/node --save

To compile the application without errors, Heroku needs the Node types dependency; it's not enough to have it as a development dependency.

See typescript getting error TS2304: cannot find name ' require' for related information.
