I'm working on a new nodejs 5.10.1 project using typescript.
I have tsc installed version 1.8.9
I created a new project that contains the following configuration files:
package.json
{
"name": "mdb-analyze",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "mdb-analyze.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"command-line-args": "^2.1.6"
}
}
tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs",
"target": "es6",
"noImplicitAny": false,
"sourceMap": false
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules"
]
}
typings.json
{
"name": "mdb-analyze",
"version": false,
"dependencies": {}
}
and this is my main mdb-analyze.ts file:
import * as commandLineArgs from 'command-line-args';
var cli = commandLineArgs([
{ name: 'verbose', alias: 'v', type: Boolean },
{ name: 'fjso', alias:'f',type: String, multiple: true, defaultOption: true },
{ name: 'help',alias:'h',type:Boolean }
])
var params = cli.parse();
if (params.help || !params.fjso || params.fjso.length == 0) {
console.info(cli.getUsage());
} else {
}
when I try to compile with tsc i get the following error:
mdb-analyze.ts(5,34): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'command-line-args'.
welp i've been told to use typings to load typescript definitions for the modules i want. but searching on typings doesn't show this module. i'm new to typescript, and very confused on what to do next.
any information regarding the issue would be greatly appreciated.
