3rd party libs content is outdated. It should describe the process of adding 3rd party libs using webpack instead of broccoli.

However if you have a var, global style 3rd party module, you will not be able to include the library. (unless hacking a bit at it). This is going to be feature we add here in the near future.

I can give some insight if needed. If the third party module can be imported via npm install, AND the 3rd party lib is of one of the following JS Module format: (es6, commonjs, commonjs2, amd, typescript), then you can simply import the file into your app (as long as you have valid ambient or global typings for it).

@TheLarkInn I can confirm this, it is working. I used 'ng-bootstrap' as example form the Angular UI Team.

Now going to try the other libraries I want to use.
Waiting for the guide how to hack a bit hehe.

Sometimes you see in NPM a webpack package, is it smarter to install the webpack version of the thirdparty library instead of the normal one?

I've updated the README to reflect usage of third party libs on the webpack branch. It's way, way easier than before, but as @TheLarkInn mentioned the globals bit of it is still not working.

https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/1633 addresses loading of global CSS as well.
