Cannot find type names

[jdk339]

I keep getting this error when compiling my Angular 2 project:

ERROR in /Users/user/workspace/app/client/node_modules/web-request/index.d.ts (1,23): Cannot find module 'http'.
ERROR in /Users/user/workspace/app/client/node_modules/web-request/index.d.ts (2,26): Cannot find module 'stream'.

I get this after running:

npm install --save web-request
npm install @types/node

When I view the code in web-request/index.d.ts in my code editor there is no error; it just shows up in compilation.

Node version: v6.11.3

I resolved the issue by adding "node" to my types property in the compilerOptions object of tsconfig.app.json.

{
  "extends": "../tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "../out-tsc/app",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "module": "es2015",
    "types": ["node"]
  },
  "exclude": [
    "test.ts",
    "**/*.spec.ts"
  ]
}

Went here to figure that out: aws/aws-sdk-js#1271
