Using a 3rd party js file with TypeScript

Question

I am new to typeScript and I want to be able to use a 3rd party library that does not have definition file. Does typescript allow you to use the external libraries?

Answer 1

Another way to call external libraries in typescript without compiling error is to use the window"myglobalfunction" notation.

For example:

jQuery call: window["$"]
fileSaver.js : window["saveAs"](blob, "hello world.txt");

etc...

These calls inside typescript don't generate compilation errors, but they are full functioning ways to call the same standard functions.
