Webpack and TypeScript: Cannot resolve module 'child_process' in node.d.ts
All you're missing is a key target: 'node'.
This makes sure that the environment you are targeting is Node.js and not the browser, and will therefore ignore native dependencies.
Final Config:
module.exports = { entry: './ui/index.ts', target: 'node', output: { path: __dirname + '/build-ui', filename: 'app.js', publicPath: 'http://localhost:8090/assets' }, module: { loaders: [ { test: /\.jsx$/, loader: 'jsx-loader?insertPragma=React.DOM&harmony' }, { test: /\.css$/, loader: "style-loader!css-loader" }, { test: /\.scss$/, loader: "style-loader!css-loader!sass-loader" }, { test: /\.(png|jpg)$/, loader: 'url-loader?limit=8192' }, { test: /\.ts$/, loader: 'awesome-typescript-loader' } ] }, resolve: { extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx', '.ts'] }};
You could consider using a different webpack TypeScript loader. I know a few had issues with node stuff. There are also a couple starter kits that may help out.
Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of ts-loader.
Try creating a tsconfig.json file.
For example, as you are using awesome-typescript-loader this should work:
{ "compilerOptions": { "target": "es5", "module": "commonjs", "emitDecoratorMetadata": true, "experimentalDecorators": true, "sourceMap": true, "noEmitHelpers": true }, "exclude": [ "node_modules" ], "awesomeTypescriptLoaderOptions": { "forkChecker": true }, "compileOnSave": false, "buildOnSave": false, "atom": { "rewriteTsconfig": false }}
