Answer 1

If you encounter the same issue with the following react version "^16.8.6" verify if the npm redux package

Package.json

"dependencies": {
    "@types/jest": "24.0.13",
    "@types/node": "12.0.3",
    "@types/react": "16.8.19",
    "@types/react-dom": "16.8.4",
    "react": "^16.8.6",
    "react-dom": "^16.8.6",
    "react-redux": "^7.0.3",
    "react-scripts": "3.0.1",
    "redux": "^4.0.1",
    "typesafe-actions": "^4.4.0",
    "typescript": "3.5.1"
  },

if not installed just do npm install redux no need for npm i @types/reduxas Redux package provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/redux installed!

Answer 2

I reverted to @types/redux@3.6.31 and that resolved the problem. This version includes the index.d.ts file for redux. There might be a problem with the TypeScript compiler not looking for the index.d.ts file in the normal node_modules/redux directory, but only under node_module/@types.

Answer 3

I experienced the same problem on a react-native project. This fix worked for me:

You have to add "moduleResolution": "node" to the compiler options in order to include type definitions linked in package.json files.

Answer 4

I already had moduleResolution: 'node' and @types/redux was deleted. But when I deleted node_modules and reinstalled, the problem went away. :shrug.
