Vscode无法与Sailsjs服务和打字稿一起使用

Question

I've have a problem with typescript in a sailsjs app.

I'm using typescript to write my controller, and I want to use sailsjs services inside my controllers but I get a syntax error in VSCODE.

MyController.ts

import util = require('util');
import express = require('express');

declare var sails: any;

var count : number = 0;

export function stats(req:any, res:any, next: Function):any {
  console.log('TsController.ts');
  TestLog.send();

  res.status(200).send({});
}

TestLog.js

module.exports = {
    send: function(){
      console.log("Service is Logging")
    }
  }

But VSCODE raise an error

[ts] Cannot find name 'TestLog'.

By the way if I lift the application is working as expected

Answer 1

It is because TypeScript doesn't know that you have a TestLog - it is defined in a JavaScript file and isn't imported.

Your "MVP" fix for this is to tell the compiler not to worry about it:

declare var TestLog: any;

You can then refine this definition to make it more useful...

declare var TestLog: { send(): void };
