Typescript: window.location is not supposed to be a read-only property

[haskaalo]

In lib.dom.d.ts L13157 window.location is set as a read-only property but it can also be used to redirect a user by changing the value of it.

For example:

window.location = "/";

Error:

[ts] Cannot assign to 'location' because it is a constant or a read-only property.

Workaround, or maybe what is actually supposed to be used is:

window.location.href = "http://www.google.com"
