TypeScript Error: Cannot find namespace 'google'

Question

I have project angular-cli

~root~/src/typings.json

{
  \"globalDevDependencies\": {
    \"angular-protractor\": \"registry:dt/angula         


        

Answer 1

A bit of a late response but I had a similar issue using Angular CLI RC.0.

It turned out that I hadn't install and imported the typings, which can be done as follows:

npm install --save-dev @types/googlemaps

import {} from '@types/googlemaps';
