Cannot access web3 object with typescript and ethereum

0 votes

I started a new project from scratch with angular 2 and typescript with:

ng new myProject

Then I installed web3 (for ethereum) with

npm install web3

In the head of index.html, I added:

<script src="node_modules/web3/dist/web3.min.js"></script>

This path seems OK since I have no error (if I change one char I have an error). In the doc:https://www.npmjs.com/package/web3 I found this: Use the web3 object directly from global namespace: console.log(web3); But web3 is not defined. How can I get this object ?

You still need to instantiate it first. Tested with JavaScript:

var web3 = new Web3();
window.console.log(web3);
> Object { _requestManager: Object, currentProvider: undefined, eth: 
    Object, db: Object, shh: Object, net: Object, personal: Object, bzz: 
    Object, settings: Object, version: Object, 2 more }
