I’m trying to use EmberObject and computed like in [this tutorial](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/object-model/computed-properties/) in a non-ember project.

I installed (via NPM) ember-source, but trying to import ‘ember-source/dist/packages/@ember/object’ has issues as it can’t find other dependent modules (e.g. ‘@ember/-internals/metal’).

I’m using typescript (latest) and webpack (v3).

Is there a way to use EmberObject outside of ember setup?
