How to use iziToast in ionic2 project?

Question

I have a ionic2 project and now I want to add iziToast into it. I tried importing it like follows:

import { izitoast } from 'izitoast';

But it gives me izitoast as undefined. However, I tried searching for the angular2 support for this library and I found ng2-iziToast It's not working just installing and importing it to the app.module

You are trying to import a named export izitoast like you are used to in Ionic/Angular (import { x } from 'y') but izitoast is not built on the ES2015 standard, which means we have to import it like this:

After running npm install izitoast --save

import izitoast from 'izitoast';

and to use it:

izitoast.show(...);

Check out the ionic docs on how to work with 3rd party libs.
