Install Node module in TypeScript using Typings and NPM

Question

I am trying to import a Node module in the most correct way possible. I would like the line:

import * as pg from "pg"

to work. But right now it raises a:

Cannot find module 'pg' error.

I'm hoping I am missing something simple.

My failing strategy:

Let me know if you have any advice for my approach.

if you are using TypeScript 2, this might be interesting: stackoverflow.com/a/38444504/5115768 — lenny

And you are sure that step 2 went well? Often the command is typings install dt~pg --global. Other than that it looks like you are on the right track to me. — cYrixmorten

Try this

npm install @types/pg

Then go ahead and import it

import * as pg from "pg"
