Cannot find type definition file for "ramda"

Question

I have a project with Ionic2 and Angular2.

I use RamdaJS in my code, this works great with these commands:

• ionic serve
• ionic cordova build android
• ionic cordova run android

But when I try to execute this command:, ionic cordova build android --prod --releaseI got an error about Ramda and Type.

See part of mine package.json:

Error: Failed to transpile TypeScript

Answer 1

Set types through @types/packageName, as recommended Definitely Type > .

For NPM, do:

npm install @types/ramda --save-dev

To use YARN:

yarn add @types/ramda --dev

Typescript looks by default for a pointer with a name @typesinside yours node_modulesto find type definitions:

"@types" . node_modules/@ ; , ./node_modules/@types/,../node_modules/@types/,../../node_modules/@types/ ..

typeRoots, typeRoots.
