Expected behavior

'npm install steem --save' should result in being able to use it from both typescript or javascript.

Actual behavior

'npm install steem --save' doesn't even work. 'npm install https://github.com/steemit/steem-js -g --save' seems to work though until you actually run 'npm dev start' when it cannot find the steem object in SteemUserButton.js, however it can when it uses generic React without Typescript.

How to reproduce

Create a typescript skeleton add steem-js via npm as above and then add to App.tsx the following line: import 'steem';

Then run 'npm start dev'. It fails with "Module not found: Can't resolve 'steem' in 'D:\Source\steemfiles-ts-react\src".

I am using Brave and the github version "https://github.com/steemit/steem-js".

The npm package is called steem. Not steem-js: https://www.npmjs.com/package/steem
