AngularClass/angular2-webpack-starter

Hello,

With some JS libraries I have the issue that I can't use them in my Typescript Angular2 webpack project. I manage to use d3 for instance but cal-heatmapis causing me headaches. npm install cal-heatmap --save; tsd install cal-heatmap --save. In my app code I do: import {CalHeatMap} from 'cal-heatmap'; ... new CalHeatMap(). I pack my app, open in a browser I get a message like TypeError: cal_heatmap_1.CalHeatMap is not a function whenever I do new CalHeatMap();.

This happened to a couple of other libraries as well and I just want to know what the root cause is here and how I can properly debug this kind of error. Any ideas? Thanks.
