Typescript error with moment range plugin

I have included moment js and the moment-range plugin in my Ionic 2 app like so:

import * as moment from 'moment';
import 'moment-range';

This works fine and I can use them both, but Typescript gives me the following error:

Javascript:

let range = moment().range(self.weekStart, self.weekEnd);

Typescript error:

Error TS2339: Property 'range' does not exist on type 'Moment'.

I have ran the following command to try and stop this error by installing a typings file:

typings install moment-range --ambient --save

but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. Is there something else I need to do or is there a way of silencing the error?

Thanks for any help.

Solution

  • I just looked at the interfaces. You need to call 

    let range = moment.range(self.weekStart, self.weekEnd);

    not moment().range

    If you look at moment-range.d.ts you'll see that the range method is defined on the static interface MomentStatic, not the instance interface Moment.
