Using Facebook SDK from typescript

Question

In my web app I am using Typescript and want to use FB sdk functions example: api, login etc from Typescript.

When compiling my typescript code that uses FB.init(), I get the following errors:

Supplied parameters do not match any signature of call target.
Cannot find name 'FB'.

You can use existing type definitions : https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/fbsdk/fbsdk.d.ts

For an example of usage look at the tests: https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/fbsdk/fbsdk-tests.ts

api and login are defined: https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/fbsdk/fbsdk.d.ts#L103-L114
