Error: "Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-search-input'"

Question

I am trying install react-input-search. I have error:

Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-search-input'. '.../app/node_modules/react-search-input/lib/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type. Try npm install @types/react-search-input if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing declare module 'react-search-input';ts(7016)

Answer 1

This is a common error that you can simply solve by creating an index.d.ts file and then add a declaration line like this:

declare module 'react-input-search';

You can save this file anywhere you wish but make sure to add the filepath to tsconfig.json like this "typeRoots": [ "types/index.d.ts" ],

This is assuming you saved it in types/index.d.ts

Answer 2

Typescript should go with Typescript NPM package, the Typescript NPM package had prefix @types/ on it name. The NPM package react-search-input do not had Typescript package for it yet, then you can simple fix by following

1. Create file with name globals.d.ts and put on your source root of Typescript watcher folder
2. Put declare module 'react-search-input' on that file

And it should working fine

Answer 3

It's a typescript error. It means that there is no type declarations in 'react-input-search' library. There is no package 'react-input-search' with types for it, so you need to declare usage of these library in your project by creating a file with extension .d.ts (for example libraries.d.ts) and insert a line declare module 'react-search-input'; into it.
