Typescript – How to exclude *.d.ts file for TypeScript compiler

typescripttypescript-typings

I use a npm module web3@1.0.0-beta.24 which has some mistakes in its index.d.ts file.

I want to ignore this file (node_modules/web3/index.d.ts) for TS compiler and I want to use my own types file.

But tsc still use this wrong file and can't compile my project.

Here is my tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "strict": true
  },

  "exclude": ["node_modules/web3/index.d.ts"]
}

If I manually remove node_modules/web3/index.d.ts, tsc compiles my project.

How to exclude this file for tsc?

I've created a repo with minimum code to reproduce this problem:

Try add this options to tsconfig.json to ignore lib declaration files checking while compiling.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "skipLibCheck": true
  },
}

Typescript – How to explicitly set a new property on `window` in TypeScript

I just found the answer to this in another Stack Overflow question's answer.

declare global {
    interface Window { MyNamespace: any; }
}

window.MyNamespace = window.MyNamespace || {};

Basically, you need to extend the existing window interface to tell it about your new property.

Typescript – How to convert a string to number in TypeScript

Exactly like in JavaScript, you can use the parseInt or parseFloat functions, or simply use the unary + operator:

var x = "32";
var y: number = +x;

All of the mentioned techniques will have correct typing and will correctly parse simple decimal integer strings like "123", but will behave differently for various other, possibly expected, cases (like "123.45") and corner cases (like null).
