Current behavior
After following the steps to configure the module I have got this error :

Same issue here.

Please make a repo plunkr. Many ppl have issues with SystemJS (not my fault) so search through the old issues to see if they answered it.

Almost everyone who want to use this module in combination with systemjs will have this issue. Just because of the fact that there exist no documentation about the usage with systemjs.
The arrogant attitude of people like @amcdnl is the fundamental problem of this issue. Not everyone is a 'master of javascript' and knows how to configure systemjs.
So please be so kind and add a short section in your online documentation. Then it is really not longer your fault that user feel left alone with this problem.

Back to topic:
You can fix it by adding the following line to your systemjs config

'@swimlane/ngx-datatable': 'npm:@swimlane/ngx-datatable/release/index.js',

@d3f3kt - Please don't be a troll.

This is a open-source project that we decided to share with the community. We don't use that setup because it plagued us with issues. Therefore, I don't want to advocate using it either.

The documentation in logging a issue for this repo literally says please create a demo reproduction case. You want someone to help you but you don't want to put out the effort to help us help you which is why I closed your issue until you do that.

I'm sure someone else in the community could help you with this but with that attitude I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. If you find a fix and want to share it with other, do a PR and I'll be happy to accept your contribution.

Please read my comment carefully again. I didn't creat this issue but I provided a solution how to solve it.

@amcdnl - ngx-datatable looks great but we got the same show stopper error above, running your demo using : "^7.0.0"

@d3f3kt - Thank You For The Fix.
