Import crypto-js in an angular 2 project (created with angular-cli)

Question

I'm trying to import crypto-js in my angular2 project.

I followed several SO questions and also angular-cli guide, but at the end I still have the error Cannot find module 'crypto-js'

What I tried :

npm install crypto-js --save

and

typings install dt~crypto-js --global --save

then I modified the file angular-cli-build.js

var Angular2App = require('angular-cli/lib/broccoli/angular2-app');

module.exports = function(defaults) {
  return new Angular2App(defaults, {
    vendorNpmFiles: [
      'systemjs/dist/system-polyfills.js',
      'systemjs/dist/system.src.js',
      'zone.js/dist/**/*.+(js|js.map)',
      'es6-shim/es6-shim.js',
      'reflect-metadata/**/*.+(ts|js|js.map)',
      'rxjs/**/*.+(js|js.map)',
      '@angular/**/*.+(js|js.map)',
      'crypto-js/**/*.+(js|js.map)'
    ]
  });
};

and the file src/system-config.ts

const map: any = {
    'crypto-js': 'vendor/crypto-js'
};

/** User packages configuration. */
const packages: any = {
    'crypto-js': {
        format: 'cjs'
    }
};

After using

import * as CryptoJS from 'crypto-js';

I still have my error. Did I miss something ?

Thanks

Ok I got it. I just download the DefinitelyTyped file in typings/crypto-js/ and then I add the line /// <reference path="../../typings/crypto-js/crypto-js.d.ts" /> before importing CryptoJS.
