How to use moment js library in angular 2 typescript app

Question

I tried to use it with typescript bindings:

npm install moment --save
typings install moment --ambient -- save

test.ts:

import {moment} from 'moment/moment';

And without:

npm install moment --save

test.ts:

var moment = require('moment/moment');

But when I call moment.format(), I get an error. Should be simple, can anybody provide a command line/import combination that would work?

You can install this by using:

npm install --save moment

And in angular, you can import it using:

import * as moment from 'moment';

And this will get you the TypeScript support
