Angular 2 Typescript compilation error TS2304?

Question

Having error TS2304 during typescript build for all the references of module.id in all of my components definitions. Definition looks like this:

    @Component({
        selector: 'sd-app',
   =>   moduleId: module.id,
        templateUrl: './app.component.html',
        directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, NavbarComponent, FooterComponent],
        providers: [AuthService]
    })

Here is the error:

app\components\app.component.ts(15,15): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'module'.

Compilation completes and application works fine though.

Any idea how to get rid of this error?

It would help to give the code that the error is referencing. — chrisbajorin

Thanks, Is there a way to declare it globally, rather repeating in each component definition? — Nexus23

@Nexus23 that should work if you add that line in your main file (let's say bootstrap.ts), but I'm not 100% sure. — Eric Martinez

error TS2304: Cannot find name 'module'

Because TypeScript cannot see the variable module declared anywhere.

Quickfix

Create a globals.d.ts with the following:

declare var module:any;

Works like a charm. Thanks Basarat. I have put the globals.d.ts in my angular application root location which is the typescript files location for compilation as well.
