error TS2307: Cannot find module 'webgl-obj-loader'

[8Observer8]

Hello,

I cannot compile my simple example using "model": "AMD".

Thank you for any help in advance.

I'll take a look and get back with you! Thanks!

I've never used AMD before, so I'm still learning, but I've found a couple of things that work.

1) Using require() works. E.g. const OBJ = require("webgl-obj-loader") 2) Based on these docs, you must include a relative path along with file extensions. I got this to work: import * as OBJ from "./node_modules/webgl-obj-loader/dist/index";

CommonJS works fine for creating "bundle.min.js". I need AMD for publish on Plunker Playground. For example, my sample uses "gl-matrix" to transform (scale, rotation, position) a triangle: https://next.plnkr.co/edit/PkqSZGwhv9zKSnUNSiXo?preview

If glMatrix works then webgl-obj-loader should work too...

That's a good point. I'll keep digging.

I was able to get the linked Plunkr to work by using this require config:

requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: ".",
    paths: {
        "gl-matrix": "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gl-matrix/2.8.1/gl-matrix-min",
        "webgl-obj-loader": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webgl-obj-loader@2.0.7/dist/webgl-obj-loader.min"
    }

});

and this import

import * as OBJ from "webgl-obj-loader";
console.log(OBJ);

I updated the output of the UMD to not define a name (requireJS would only work for import OBJ from "OBJ";) and instead exported an OBJ object from the main output so that it was backward compatible with regular browser-based inclusion. This is released as version 2.0.7 on NPM.

I was never able to figure out why running TS locally with amd and the import wasn't working, but const OBJ = require("webgl-obj-loader") is definitely working, so I'd suggest doing that for things outside of plunkr.
