Auth0.js: Could not find a declaration file for module 'auth0-js'.

[sh4ka]

In my package.json I have the following:
"auth0-js": "^8.9.3",
Using the provided example in https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/spa/angular2/01-login I am including the module in auth.service.ts like this:
import * as auth0 from 'auth0-js';
After install, the module is correctly placed under node_modules however I get this error message when running npm start:

src/app/auth/auth.service.ts(4,24): error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'auth0-js'.
I am using Angular2 for this app with windows 10 if that matters.

We don't ship the definition files ourselves, so I think you have to install them
npm install --save @types/auth0-js

I don't know exactly what is a definition file but you should definitely supply it, the example does not work without it. Anyway after installing that it is still not working.

Definition files are typescript specific files. More about them here.

I just cloned the example you gave me and run it. It works. You probably have something wrong in your project.

Thanks for you support, I made it work. You guys rock.
