Additional context

@kisamoto I was able to fix this compilation error by installing npm i -D @types/places & npm i places.js.

[kisamoto]

Can confirm that fixes it but should either:

1. be in the docs;
2. or have the dependency removed (places.js is in the public archive)

[fourthofaugust]

@kisamoto Yeah that's true. Maybe one of the maintainers should document it.

@fourthofaugust @kisamoto it’s wasn’t resolved when using yarn add @types/places

[Haroenv]

Can someone make a reproduction of this? When I'm trying this in the examples, places doesn't need to be loaded.

@Haroenv solved by running yarn add @types/places && yarn add places.js
