Dom-to-image: Can't Import into Angular 5/Ionic 4

[bkarv]

Use case:

First of all many thanks for your efforts in making this plugin.

I am trying to use this plugin in my Angular5/Ionic4. I've installed the plugin via npm:
npm install dom-to-image --save

I've imported plugin into my component:

import domtoimage from 'dom-to-image';

The issue is the app can't locate/recognise the dom-to-image. In visual studio is shows up in a popup on the link as module '*', meaning it can't locate the plugin in node_modules. I've used and imported other third party plugins including lodash without any issues. My app's package.json is below, does anyone know what might be the issue? Eg I noticed there is a .ts file in the package.

Expected behavior

Import dom-to-image

Actual behavior (stack traces, console logs etc)

App does not recognise dom-to-image

Library version

dom-to-image @2.6.0

If you want to import this into an Angular 5 project you need to do

import * as domtoimage from 'dom-to-image';

This is the case with any package that doesn't have a proper ngModule to export.

[RichardZandi]

import * as domtoimage from 'dom-to-image';

This worked for me in Angular 5. However, it doesn't work in Angular 6?

Thanks,
