React-admin: Typescript Import Errors

[mtdewers]

What you were expecting:
Expected that a Typescript based react-admin website that had no Typescript compile errors would continue to not have any compile errors when react-admin was updated from version 2.7.2 to 2.7.3.

What happened instead:
An import statement like:
import { Layout } from 'react-admin';

began displaying errors like:

Module '".../web/node_modules/react-admin/esm"' has no exported member 'Layout'.

Other information:
I believe this behavior was introduced in PR #2924 when the following change was made to the react-admin/package.json file:

"declaration": true,

Apparently, since the ra-ui-materialui package is not yet producing types, any types found in that package that are imported in Typescript cause errors.

Environment

• React-admin version: 2.7.3
• Last version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): 2.7.2
• React version: 16.3.2
• Browser: Chrome Version 72.0.3626.121

Thanks, so we need to remove the declarations from the react-admin package until everything is typed...

Just tried version 2.8.0 and this bug still exists. I created a repository that demonstrates the issue. Apparently, since some the *.d.ts files exist the problem remains.

I noticed that #2984 is currently being worked. Is that slated for the next release or will that be a while yet?

[fzaninotto]

No, #2984 will take weeks. We'll have to hotfix 2.8.0.

[fzaninotto]

@mtakayuki I tested the #2988 patch in your repository, and there are no more compilation errors. Thanks a lot for taking the time to post the code demonstrating the issue!

as of 2.8.2 i'm still getting these errors

[fzaninotto]

Did you wipe out the node_modules and reinstall? I used your repository and couldn't see the errors.

[Bnaya]

yes

[1:05:19 PM] Found 23 errors. Watching for file changes.

And i'm not sure which repo you referring to,
the errors are on the consuming project

The immediate workaround is "skipLibCheck": true,

But better to fix the lib :)

Hi. Should this be set back to true again now that things the different packages are typescript?
https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin/blob/master/packages/react-admin/tsconfig.json#L6

Getting

Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-admin'. '/home/alexalvarez/dev/hasura-poc/react-admin/node_modules/react-admin/lib/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
when doing

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';

on v2.9.8

[fzaninotto]

The react-admin package doesn't export types at the moment. You'll need to add a react-admin.d.ts file with the following content to use it in a Typescript project:

declare module 'react-admin';
