TypeScript: Invalid module name in augmentation - rzslider.d.ts

[MiroslavKral]

We are upgrading our application from AngularJS 1.5 to Angular 5. With Angular 5, there is TypeScript 2.4. We are building with webpack 3.8.1 and error is:

Error:(6, 16) TS2665:Invalid module name in augmentation. Module 'angular' resolves to an untyped module at /node_modules/angular/index.js', which cannot be augmented.

We have angularjs-slider 6.4.0.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use angularjs-slider in TypeScript 2.4 project or with Angular 5.

Expected behaviour

It is possible to fix this by moving angular import into module declaration in rzslider.d.ts:

declare module "angular" {

    import * as angular from "angular";

    export namespace RzSlider {
         ...
    }
}

Actual behaviour

Actually, angular import is outside module declaration in rzslider.d.ts:

import * as angular from "angular";

declare module "angular" {

    export namespace RzSlider {
         ...
    }
}

This library doesn't support Angular 2+. See #549 (comment) .

Looking at other d.ts files for angular projects (e.g., angular-toastr, angular-translate, angular-ui-bootstrap), they all follow the same pattern as done in this project. Looking at the tsc error of yours, it appears that you don't have @types/angular installed. I've not tested with typescript 2.4, but I believe everything should work in an Angular 1.x app as long as you've installed the @types/angular as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for reply and solution. We have hybrid application with AgularJS 1.5 and Angular 5 and angularjs-slider is used only in AngularJS part.

But I installed @types/angular and everything works now.

I found my solution there: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42702089

So this is not issue and it can be closed ;-)

Glad to help.

@ValentinH , can you close this? Also, should we update the installation section of the readme to indicate that typescript definitions are included and if using them, there is a peer dependency on @types/angular?

[ValentinH]

Yeah sure. Would you like to update the readme ?
