Unable to import module from node_modules

[MarkusKramer]

Hi. When I use your loader I get errors like

src/app.ts(15,1): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'angular'.

Angular is installed at "node_modules/angular". The same code works with "ts-loader" (but this loader does not work well with noEmitOnError).

Is it possible that modulesDirectories (http://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#resolve-modulesdirectories) are not yet supported?

Thanks for the report. Yes, currently webpack-typescript uses native TypeScript compiler algorithm to resolve modules, and doesn't not support module resolution by webpack. That is because webpack limits functionality of synchronous loaders, and unfortunately TypeScript compiler works only synchronously. This problem cannot be solved without really dirty hacks, which I would like to avoid. But I will probably implement that anyway, eventually.

Okay I see. Hope you'll implement support for modulesDirectories :-)
Having to work with relative imports all the time is annoying.
