Angular4 - npm jQuery error TS1005: ',' expected

Question

My project was ok until moment I installed jquery packages via:

npm install jquery

and:

npm install -D @types/jquery

After this I got some errors and decided to use jQuery via script tags in index file. So tried to uninstall installed packages:

npm uninstall jquery
npm uninstall @types/jquery

Also tried with sudo and/or --save and/or --save-dev like:

sudo npm uninstall jquery --save-dev

Uninstalation progress went well, according to the console:

removed 1 package in 2.199s

But I still received error while tried to npm start:

node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(47,40): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2370,40): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2372,46): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2483,23): error TS1005: ',' expected. and so forth...

Then noticed that nodemodules/@types still contains jquery so I deleted it manually, but then:

node_modules/@types/angular-animate/index.d.ts(6,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'jquery'. node_modules/@types/angular/index.d.ts(6,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'jquery'. node_modules/@types/angular/index.d.ts(86,18): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'JQueryStatic'. node_modules/@types/angular/index.d.ts(2004,46): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'JQueryStatic'. src/app/search.component.ts(14,19): error TS2339: Property 'target' does not exist on type '{}'. npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 2 npm ERR! [email protected] build: tsc -p src/ npm ERR! Exit status 2

So as I understand after I installed jQuery, I also changed other node_modules (@types/angular) ?

UPDATE:

---

As @selemmn recommended I tried to delete catch:

rm -r node_modules

npm cache clean After this got:

npm ERR! As of npm@5, the npm cache self-heals from corruption issues and data extracted from the cache is guaranteed to be valid. If you want to make sure everything is consistent, use 'npm cache verify' instead. npm ERR! npm ERR! If you're sure you want to delete the entire cache, rerun this command with --force.

So:

npm cache clean --force

npm install

And got this error:

node-pre-gyp ERR! stack TypeError: Cannot read property 'version' of null

So as from gitHub, remvoved package-lock.json and again removed packages and cache.

And now trying npm start brought me to the starting point:

node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(47,40): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2370,40): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2372,46): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2483,23): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2484,17): error TS1005: ',' expected. node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts(2485,17): error TS1005: ',' expected. and so forth

UPDATE 2:

---

I dont get it - I delete all packages - rm -r node_modules. Also delete paskage-lock.json and cache as well and if I try to search for "jquery" in the whole project, nothing is found, but after I run npm install, package-lock.json file being created with:

"@types/jquery": {
  "version": "3.2.3",
  "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/@types/jquery/-/jquery-3.2.3.tgz",
  "integrity": "sha512-3/ETl4JziXnuFIx6W+WB7BzPGRnYH2O/AFKafSOulabMyAhRfv/oboEO2yytsRvzZDiLFODuydYbr7C0kudB9w==",
  "dev": true
},

So where this jQuery is coming from??

Answer 1

I finally made it work by upgrading the Typescript version from 2.2.0 to 2.3.

That was a HUGE heading.

I hope this will help someone.

Answer 2

I've fixed the same error by adding belows to my package.json

"devDependencies": {
...
"@types/jquery": "^2.0.42",
...
}

Thanks for your UPDATE2, so can I find this @types/jquery lib
