typescript unable to add definition files to webstorm

Question

i want to use baconjs with TS,but after copy baconjs def file for ts,i got that msg: bacon.ts(216,1): error TS1148: Cannot compile external modules unless the '--module' flag is provided.

to solve that,i should add a file watcher with --module cmd for tsc,but i cannot find how to distinguish between module and other ts files from file watcher settingsff

news: after add d.ts file,there are lots of errors like that

Answer 1

after add d.ts file,there are lots of errors like that

Thats because Webstorm isn't updated to TS 1.4 which introduced promises. Fix: Use an older .d.ts (https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/tree/1.3.0) or wait for webstorm to update.
