How do I use pouchdb with typescript?

Question

I am trying to use pouchdb with Typescript. I cannot link to the pouchdb module.

import { PouchDB } from "pouchdb"

reports that it cannot find module pouchdb, even though it is in node_modules.

I also cannot find the appropriate typings for pouchdb.

Answer 1

I managed to get the module recognised by using

declare function require(a)

var PouchDB = require("pouchdb")

I have given up type checking, but at least I can make progress.
