How to get toastr to work in Typescript

Question

I am converting a project over to Typescript. I am having issues with toastr.

import {toastr} from "toastr";

I downloaded the typescript definition file with Nuget and included it in the project.

It has this export at the end of the file:

declare var toastr: Toastr;
declare module "toastr" {
export = toastr;
}

However, I get the compile time error: Modle "toastr" has no exported member 'toastr'

How to I resolve this issue?

Try the following:

import * as toastr from "toastr";

Doing that will import the entire module as toastr.

In addition, adding @types/toastr adds the typescript typings! (npm install --save @types/toastr) – Maximilian Friedmann Jan 19 '17 at 13:50

Shouldn't that be --save-dev instead? – trevorgk Feb 04 '17 at 11:00
This works. And then use it like `toastr.info('something')` – Mladen Mihajlovic Jan 25 '22 at 09:39
