Description
See: #24 (comment) for a workaround
My situation is this: I want to avoid stuff like webpack and so on, instead, I have this in my <head>:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/stomp.umd.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/common.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/chat.js"></script>
And module is set to none in my tsconfig.json.
In this specific case, my TypeScript project resides in a completely different folder and has that "js/" directory as the outDir.
For jQuery, this:
npm i --save-dev @types/jquery
is enough to get jQuery type checking, autocompletion etc. in my .ts files, thanks to this declaration:
declare const jQuery: JQueryStatic;
declare const $: JQueryStatic;
Now when I add stompjs to the TS project:
npm i --save-dev @stomp/stompjs
Nothing of sort becomes available; it looks like StompJs 100% hard depends on module loading when it comes to TypeScript.
According to the docs, including stomp.umd.min.js does give you a globally accessible StompJs object, but it does not look like there's a way to use it with type checking from TypeScript.
