Can't get it to work in an ionic project - possibly typescript related?

Hi,

I am trying to test this in a simple ionic project, but as soon as I include in a project it fails with:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
at patch (http://localhost:8100/build/vendor.js:230900:54)

Environment details

• Windows 10
• Node.js version: 9.3.0
• npm version: 5.6.0
• @google-cloud/vision version: v0.22.1

Steps to reproduce

0 . install ionic/cordova: $ npm install -g ionic cordova

1. ionic start (just generate a simple tab project)
2. add to page home.ts above @component decorator: (probably better to make a provider instead but it failes never the less)

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
import vision from '@google-cloud/vision'; // or require depending on typescript version
const client = new vision.ImageAnnotatorClient();

3. ionic serve

I am not an expert in any way but this gets me stuck wanting to try it out with using HTTP calls myself as I have seen others doing in ionic projects.

Thanks!

Robert

Greetings! The library doesn't currently support webpack :/ We are tracking this over in #216
