How can i use it in a normal typescript project?

[iamneaz]

I've created a normal typescript project and I've done everything the starter file tells me to do. But while importing it in my ts file , i get this error : error TS2792: Cannot find module 'timepicker-ui'. Did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'node', or to add aliases to the 'paths' option? then I add "moduleResolution": "Node" in tsconfig.json , i get this error in the browser Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "timepicker-ui". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../". .

this is the tsconfig.json : `{ "compilerOptions": { / Visit https://aka.ms/tsconfig to read more about this file /

I don't know what's wrong with your project. I created project on the codesandbox and it's working with typescript. You can put path to types from node_modules to path in tsconfig (typeRoots).
