ng2-slider is not working with Angular 2 CLI project

[RamitAnandSharma]

Here is my code: ERROR: metadata_resolver.js:700Uncaught Error: moduleId should be a string in "Ng2SliderComponent". See https://goo.gl/wIDDiL for more information. If you're using Webpack you should inline the template and the styles, see https://goo.gl/X2J8zc.

Yeah I've got the same issue :(

[derailed]

+1. Any resolve on this?

I've switched to PrimeNG, their slider is pretty good as well.

[Hassan0Rehman]

Hi, same issue as above. I see error "Error: moduleId should be a string in "Ng2SliderComponent". See https://goo.gl/wIDDiL for more information." on console. The error message doesn't make any sense to me. Some solution would be help, i am using webpack.

[sheetaldshivdas]

Same issue still there cannot use this component in angular 2 cli based project. Will there be a proper fix made available?

[iain17]

I see a fix here: #12 but it's ridiculous that we have to edit a file to get it to work.

[darin-cardin]

As far as I can tell, this tool is no longer maintained and does not work. I spent two hours trying to get this working. Don't make my mistake.

@rolandoldengarm Can you please send me a demo link of PrimeNG slider?
