Is it possible to access the type definitions for the newer versions 4.0 and above of AgGrid?

Currently, I am utilizing "ag-grid": "4.0.5" in a project that involves Angular 1.5.2 and Typescript within Visual Studio 2015.

When trying to install the type definitions through tsd using the command 

tsd install ag-grid --resolve --save
, it installs an outdated version (2.1.2) from https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/ag-grid. Unfortunately, this older version does not provide any functionality useful for my current project.

I noticed that the project was developed using typescript. Is there a way for me to use the internal typescript definitions of this project? I attempted to add 

/// <reference path="../../bower_components/ag-grid/main.d.ts" />
at the beginning of my TS file, but due to the lack of modules/namespaces in that definition file, I am unable to reference types as before (e.g: ag.grid.GridOptions) or access types globally (e.g: let test: GridOptionsWrapper). As a result, my typescript file does not compile.

I am currently using Visual Studio 2015 as my IDE and if there is another method to integrate the internal type definitions mentioned above with Visual Studio, I am unaware of it.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

For more information, you can visit https://www.ag-grid.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3581&pid=8414.

UPDATE: After following Niall's suggestion to use import statements, I faced issues where my internal angular modules were no longer being recognized. For instance, when I added: 


import bb = require("../../bower_components/ag-grid/main.d");
the intellisense for bb. worked smoothly, displaying all types within the main.d.ts file. However, attempting to define a variable like let a:app.services.IMyService resulted in a compilation error stating that Module 'app' does not have any exported members under services. This was functioning prior to introducing the require statement.

If I simply include 


/// <reference path="../../bower_components/ag-grid/main.d.ts" />
it fails to compile with the error message 
Cannot compile modules unless the '--module' flag is provided.
I am uncertain about the cause of this error and how to resolve it.

Answer №1

Make sure to check out the typescript definitions that come with the project by looking at the main.d.ts file located in the root directory.

If you are using TypeScript yourself, simply import the files and your IDE will automatically recognize the typings.

You can also use the typescript <reference> tag to directly reference either the main.d.ts file or the files in dist/lib.

Keep in mind that the typescript files are already included in the project's src folder, so there is no need to separately reference the typings.
