Question

I am trying to use Typescript for my AWS Lambda and i am getting the following errors where ever I use promises.

error TS2693: \'Promise\' only refers to a type,          


        

Answer 1

Encounter the same error today and solved it with:

npm i --save-dev  @types/es6-promise

Update:

add:

import {Promise} from 'es6-promise'
