Howler: Angular error TS2304: Cannot find name "Howl"

Question

I am referencing Howler in my index.html file:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/howler/2.0.3/howler.min.js"></script>

Then in my app.component.ts I have the line:

let sound = new Howl({src: [sample]});

This produces the error:

error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Howl'.

I tried including it in the lib array in tsconfig.json but that is not permitted.

What happens if you add `declare const Howl` above your `@Component` and below the `import`...? — Ivar Reukers, May 02 '17 at 11:38
@Ivaro18 that (almost) worked, I had to add the type. So `declare const Howl:any` works. Feel free to add as answer & I'll mark correct. — GluePear, May 02 '17 at 12:15

Try DefinitelyTyped typings definition for howler.

Here is the repo on GitHub where you can find howler.d.ts

Here is the npm package info

TypeScript v2 use following command to install

npm install --save @types/howler
