TypeScript: problems with type system

Question

I\'m just testing typescript in VisualStudio 2012 and have a problem with its type system. My html site has a canvas tag with the id \"mycanvas\". I\'m trying to draw a rect

This is an old topic... maybe dead to 2012, but exciting and new to VS Code and typescript.

I had to do the following to get this to work in VS Code with the following package references.

const demoCanvas: HTMLCanvasElement = document.getElementById('rfrnCanvas') as any;

        if(demoCanvas.getContext) {
            const context = demoCanvas.getContext('2d');

            if(context) {
                reactangle(context);
            }
        }

Typescript Version:

{
    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^2.29.0",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^2.29.0",
    "typescript": "^3.7.5"
