'How to fix cannot find module 'fs'

When I try using writeFile angular imports it from fs, then i try to run ng serve and i get ERROR in src/app/app.component.ts(2,27): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'fs'.

I am guessing that I am missing a simple option somewhere like when you want to use ng-model you need to import the formsModule in app.modules.ts.

I am Using:

vscode: 1.34

Angular CLI: 8.0.1
Node: 10.15.3
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 8.0.0
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... language-service, platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic
... router

fs is only available in NodeJs runtime. If you want to read and write to a file locally using Angular please refer to
