Type definition files (for SignaR adapter)?

[vkelman]

chatjs\chatjs\js\jquery.chatjs.adapter.signalr.ts and chatjs\ChatJs\js\jquery.chatjs.adapter.signalr.js both have top lines of

/// <reference path="../../Scripts/Typings/jquery/jquery.d.ts"/>
/// <reference path="../../Scripts/Typings/signalr/signalr.d.ts"/>

But there is no folder /Scripts and no .d.ts files in a project. I'm pretty new to TypeScript. Where can I get those missing .d.ts files?

Just a stranger:
You can get them from DefinitelyTyped using this tool:
https://github.com/typings/typings Cheers.

Visual Studio 2013 Package Manager Console:

PM> Install-Package jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped -Version 2.1.1

Now jQuery compilation errors disappeared, but there are still multiple SignalR related errors There are bunch of errors of type:

Build: Duplicate identifier 'hub'
Build: Duplicate identifier 'hubConnection'
Build: Duplicate identifier 'signalR

There are also errors like

Build: Supplied parameters do not match signature of call target  jquery.chatjs.controller.ts 85
Build: Cannot find name 'chatJs'                                                      jquery.chatjs.controller.ts 111
Build: Cannot find name 'YatServerAdapter'                                   jquery.chatjs.messageboards.ts 56

Maybe 'signalr.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped 0.4.1' is a wrong version (for SignalR 2.2.1)? But there is no other typings package for signalR.

But other errors make me think that Chatjs typescript code is not synced with JavaScript code. @andrerpena, @rpaschoal?

OK, I understood why there were "Duplicate identifier" errors: building a project for some reason generated two SignalR type definition files: signalr-1.0.d.ts (Type definitions for SignalR 1.0) and signalr.d.ts (Type definitions for SignalR 2.2.0). Excluding first file from a project solved "Duplicate identifier" issue. I hope that SignalR 2.2.1 I'm using has identical interfaces to 2.2.0.

In chatjs\ChatJs\js\jquery.chatjs.controller.ts and chatjs\ChatJs\js\jquery.chatjs.messageboard.ts instead of /// <reference path="../../Scripts/Typings/autosize/autosize.d.ts"/> there should be /// <reference path="../../Scripts/Typings/jquery.autosize/jquery.autosize.d.ts"/> because that's where NuGet installs autosize typings.
