Storybook: [Typescript/add-knobs] error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module '@storybook/addon-knobs/react'.

[nihaux]

Bug or support request summary

I'm new to typescript and to storybook and having a problem to make knob work with typescript.
Maybe I am missing something, but I get a TS7016 error on the import:

import { withKnobs } from '@storybook/addon-knobs/react';

I've added

"@types/storybook__addon-knobs": "^3.2.3",
"@types/storybook__react": "^3.0.7",

Any pointers appreciated :)

Steps to reproduce

I've setup a basic repo to reproduce my problem.
Basically it is a create-react-app (with typescript scripts) + getStorybook + typescript config for storybook.

https://github.com/nihaux/typescript-storybook-knob

yarn install
yarn run storybook

should get you

ERROR in ./src/stories/index.stories.tsx
(3,27): error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module '@storybook/addon-knobs/react'. '[...]/typescript-storybook-knob/node_modules/@storybook/addon-knobs/react.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.

Please specify which version of Storybook and optionally any affected addons that you're running

"@storybook/react": "^3.4.0",
"@storybook/addon-knobs": "^3.4.0",
"@types/storybook__addon-knobs": "^3.2.3",
"@types/storybook__react": "^3.0.7",
"@storybook/addons": "^3.4.0",
"@storybook/react": "^3.4.0",
"@storybook/addon-knobs": "^3.4.0",

For those who also run into this problem:
yarn add @types/node @types/react @types/storybook__addon-knobs --dev

That solved it. Documentation only mentions first two, CLI error only mentions the last. You need all three.

Works for me without adding @types/storybook__addon-knobs. Here's how I configured simply my Storybook with TypeScript.

I have the same error

"@types/storybook__addon-knobs": "^5.2.1",
"@storybook/addon-knobs": "^5.3.14",
