Cannot find module 'md2'

[saschwarz]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

I'm trying to use md2 in an Ionic/Angular 4 webpack application.

What is the expected behavior?

Import md2 without an error.

What is the current behavior?

I followed the install instructions:

Ran: npm install md2 --save and added import to my app.module.ts

But I didn't add to systemjs.config.js since that doesn't seem to exist in Angular4 projects.

When typescript compiles it can't find the module.

[08:09:57]  typescript: src/app/app.module.ts, line: 19 
            Cannot find module 'md2'. 
      L19:  import { Md2Module }  from 'md2';

What are the steps to reproduce?

Providing a Plunker (or similar) is the best way to get the team to see your issue. Plunker template: http://plnkr.co/edit/rQmUz8WYRh5Vz4gwY8E4?p=info

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Which versions of Angular, MD2, OS, browsers are affected?

Is there anything else we should know?

@saschwarz could you explain configurations of your app in detail or share sample code of it?

Using https://github.com/johnpapa/angular-tour-of-heroes and following the md2 install instructions I had to also install angular animations:

npm install @angular/animations --save

So now I get:

ERROR in /Users/saschwarz/dev/angular-tour-of-heroes/src/app/app.module.ts (21,15): Property 'forRoot' does not exist on type 'typeof Md2Module'.

ERROR in Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Calling function 'Md2Module', function calls are not supported.

@saschwarz yes, we have removed forRoot from md2module, use to import the only Md2Module in your project, we will update documentation.
