For more context I've decided to keep all my modules in commonjs format for portability and use browserify with a few other things to bundle up stuff on the frontend.
I use TypeScript to do type checking but I'm not sure how to use jquery ui with my configuration. See below for a simple example.
package.json
{
"main": "Main.js",
"license": "MIT",
"dependencies": {
"@types/jquery": "^2.0.34",
"@types/jqueryui": "^1.11.31"
}
}
tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs",
"baseUrl": ".",
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"outDir": "build/js",
"target": "es5",
"sourceMap": true,
"noImplicitAny": true,
"typeRoots": ["./node_modules/@types/*"]
}
}
Main.ts
'use strict';
import $ from 'jquery'
export class Main {
constructor(public app: string) {
$(() => {
$('#date').datepicker();
})
}
}
The error I get from the typescript compiler is Error:(7, 24) TS2339: Property 'datepicker' does not exist on type 'JQuery'.
yet datepicker is defined in node_modules/@types/jqueryui/index.d.ts:1091
.
So my question is how do I get jquery ui with commonjs working in typescript. I'm trying to keep from using triple slash directives (e.g. ///<reverence path="..." />
