Using svg.js with TypeScript

Question

I'm making a website app using TypeScript, and I want to use the svg.js library.

I'm coding in TypeScript, and automatically compiling into JavaScript which runs in the browser.

Is this possible? And if so, how?

Answer 1

svg.js provides a .d.ts file so you can use it in typescript out of box.

I am using vscode and it needs no further configuration to provide intellisense.

CommonJS style

ES 6 style or

vscode integrates js and ts service tightly, so it may provide some kind of auto detection. I never used Atom but I think you can explicitly declare your reference using Triple-Slash Directives

/// <reference path="path/to/yourTypeDeclaration.d.ts" />
// your code follows

If importing this still not helps, you may lack some kind of language service plugins.
