Check out this link for the Angular project
If you take a look at src/mock-data/mock-data.js, you'll see that it's quite large but very straightforward.
System.register([], function (exports) {
mockdata = {......};
exports("MockData", mockdata);
});
In my TypeScript module src/app/table-view.ts, I decided to consume it like this:
import { MockData } from 'mockdata/mock-data';
However, when I tried to import the JS module, TypeScript gave me an error message stating that using implicit 'any' objects is not allowed unless there is a typed declaration available. This goes against the guidelines of the Angular 2 quickstart guide.
Initially, I thought about using require() to import the module as suggested by some sources. However, this resulted in an error "cannot find name: require".
So, I created a declaration file: src/mock-data/mock-data.d.ts
declare module 'MockData' {
var mockdata: any;
export = mockdata;
}
This declaration is similar to others found online, such as this one. However, even after creating the declaration file, TypeScript continued to show the error TS2306: File ...mock-data.d.ts is not a module! What could be causing this issue?
Where can I find a proper explanation on how to consume a JavaScript module in TypeScript, especially when dealing with a module that only consists of a single untyped object?
