How can I use process.cwd() within Angular2 Component with TypeScript?

Question

How can I use

process.cwd()

within Angular2 Component with TypeScript? What do I have to import?

The following in the constructor

console.log("Where I am: ", process.cwd());

outputs the error:

ORIGINAL EXCEPTION: ReferenceError: process is not defined
ORIGINAL STACKTRACE:
ReferenceError: process is not defined

As I could use process.cwd() and __dirname natively in my JavaScript files, I am wondering, why it does not work instantly?

What do I have to import? Is it my addiction to nodeJS? Or my wrong assumptions: what in node works must work everywhere?

Dear @JasonGoemaat , if I am not wrong, it was my question: How can I import process? — , Aug 06 '16 at 14:38
@Vienna `process` is a node.js module it doesn't exist when running in browser. — Ofer Herman, Aug 06 '16 at 20:10
Yeah, that is exactly my question: What do I have to do, so that it works in the browser :) — , Aug 06 '16 at 22:22

Try this:

declare var process: any;

Place it before @Component; It won't give you full intellisense but it satisfies the compiler.
