Answer 1

Had the same issue, but my problem was that I was importing React wrong.

The correct way to import it when using TypeScript is with import * as React from "react".

Code example:

import * as React from "react"
import ReactDOM from "react-dom"

class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      
Hello, World!
    )
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(, document.getElementById("app"))

Note: allows you to use any props and state variables in your React component, but you should usually define those yourself to take advantage of TypeScript's type annotations.
