Answer 1

This is happening because you pass --save-dev parameter to npm when you install ts-loader and css-loader modules in a directory with no package.json in it.

If this is a new project, I suggest you to start by npm init, as it will create you a fresh package.json file for your project.

You can always install dependency globally if you needed it for more than one project:

npm install -g ts-loader css-loader

Others alert are not very important, but you can add a licence and a README file to get rid of it if you care.
