AngularJS: Property 'ngEnter' does not exist on type 'IAttributes'

Question

I'm using Typescript and migrating the DefinitelyTyped definitions for angular from 1.3 to 1.6.2 leads to the following error in my MainModule.ts:

Error:(14, 43) TS2339:Property 'ngEnter' does not exist on type 'IAttributes'.

The code that triggers the compiler error is defining the angularjs module:

angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute', 'ui.bootstrap', 'ui.bootstrap.modal', 'smart-table'])
    .service('appService', AppService)
    .controller('MainCtrl', MainCtrl)
    .controller('uploadTSCtrl', UploadTSCtrl)
    .controller('inputCtrl', InputCtrl)
    .controller('reportCtrl', ReportCtrl)
    .directive('ngEnter', function () {
        return function (scope, element, attrs) {
            element.bind("keydown keypress", function (event) {
                if(event.which === 13) {
                    scope.$apply(function (){
                        scope.$eval(attrs.ngEnter); // <<<<<<<<<<<<< here
                    });
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            });
        };
    })

I could not find a migration guide or anything like it from 1.x to 1.6.2 and don't know how to fix it ..

I also encountered such problems and just made

scope.$eval(attrs['ngEnter']);

OR

scope.$eval((attrs as any).ngEnter);

to avoid the problem.
