Can TypeScript interact with jQuery without a definition file?

Question

I have been attempting to get to know this new \'TypeScript\' stuff, and I am a bit curious on something.

Can it still work with existing javascript frameworks like jQuer

Answer 1

Yes you can. For example just write:

declare var $;

and you can basically use the JQuery framework without having to define anything else. This is also very handy when you are converting your existing libraries / porting code.
