Typescript + Vue + Element-ui

Question

How do I use element-ui with Vue+typescript

There are no types for element-ui so when I import it

import Vue from 'vue';
import Element from 'element-ui'

I get an error

Could not find a declaration file for module 'element-ui'. '/home/andres/Code/cdr/frontend/node_modules/element-ui/lib/element-ui.common.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.

How do I work around this?

Can you add your typescript config?

As a workaround you can simply create a custom typings file and declare the module:

// in element-ui.d.ts

declare module "element-ui";

This will result in anything you import from element-ui to be typed as any. Of course you can add type definitions in your element-ui.d.ts to have typings if you want.

You can see how to write your own types here.
