Using the Object from external javascript file inside Typescript

Question

I have script tag like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://url.com/foo.min.js"></script>

And then I just want to use the object from that js file inside my typescript like below

Foo.create('element', {
    "title": "foo",
    "description": "bar",
});

I got the error warning on Foo inside my Typescript. Is there any way that I can use Foo object like Javascript?

Try this:

declare var Foo: any;

You can get more specific than any if you wish, providing better typing information, but this should get you started.

I got error like Unexpected token. A constructor, method, accessor, or property was expected for declare

@SeizeDuh where did you put your declare statement?

Now I realised I should put that on top.
