How can moment.js be imported with typescript?

Question

I\'m trying to learn Typescript. While I don\'t think it\'s relevant, I\'m using VSCode for this demo.

I have a package.json that has these pieces in it

Update

Apparently, moment now provides its own type definitions (according to sivabudh at least from 2.14.1 upwards), thus you do not need typings or @types at all.

import * as moment from 'moment' should load the type definitions provided with the npm package.

That said however, as said in moment/pull/3319#issuecomment-263752265 the moment team seems to have some issues in maintaining those definitions (they are still searching someone who maintains them).

You need to install moment typings without the --ambient flag.

Then include it using import * as moment from 'moment'
