How to import jQuery npm module in TypeScript 1.8

First of all, I'm trying to ask the right question. It seems to me that I have missed or mixed some concepts regarding the TypeScript compiler, the new ES2015 module syntax (ES6) and module loaders.

I am trying to import the jquery module installed by npm using ES2015 module syntax. TypeScript should pass it to ES5.

I get an error when opening index.html.

system-polyfills.src.js:1276 Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
Evaluating http://localhost:3000/jquery
Error loading http://localhost:3000/app/main.js

index.html

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Bare TypeScript</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
    <!-- 1. Load libraries -->
    <script src="node_modules/es6-shim/es6-shim.min.js"></script>

    <script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
    <script src="node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
    <!-- 2. Configure SystemJS -->
    <script>
      System.config({
        packages: {        
          app: {
            format: 'register',
            defaultExtension: 'js'
          }
        }
      });
      System.import('app/main')
            .then(null, console.error.bind(console));
    </script>
  </head>
  <!-- 3. Display the application -->
  <body>
    <div>Loading...</div>
  </body>
</html>
  • I'm not sure what is required <script src="node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>.
  • How come import B works fine when console.log($)commented out? Should jQuery import work too?
  • Perhaps a problem with running npm commonjs modules with systemjs?

main.ts

import * as $ from 'jquery'
import B from './app.b'

console.log("Monkey");
let b = new B();
console.log($);
