Force Typescript to recognize __moduleName

I'm trying to set up a build environment for Angular2 and SystemJs, such that I can import components from external libraries, which are defined like so:

@Component({
  moduleId: __moduleName,
  selector: 'foo-selector',
  templateUrl: 'foo.component.html'
})

I know for sure that this is what I want to use, because it works when I run it. But Typescript compilation fails because it can't recognize moduleName. How can I tell Typescript to recognize this, or at least, not to complain about it?

This is with Typescript version 2.1.0-dev.20160915 and module is set to system in tsconfig.json

Solution

  • You can try to add this line to your typings/index.d.ts file:

    declare var __moduleName: string;
