How do you explicitly set a new property on `window` in TypeScript?

Question

I setup global namespaces for my objects by explicitly setting a property on window.

window.MyNamespace = window.MyNamespace || {};

After finding answers around, I think this page might be helpful. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-merging.html#global-augmentation Not sure about the history of declaration merging, but it explains why the following could work.

declare global {
    interface Window { MyNamespace: any; }
}

window.MyNamespace = window.MyNamespace || {};
