I have created a .Net Core 1.0 MVC project. I am using TypeScript files. I want to transmit some data using the jquery call $.ajax but the compiler does not recognised the dollar sign. I have tried various permutations of...

import * as $ from "../lib/jquery/dist/jquery";

...but to no avail. TypeScript files that do not call jquery functions work perfectly. When I put the $.ajax call on the view using javascript it works fine. However, I want to use TypeScript for obvious reasons. Could someone suggest the correct reference please?

  • Vijayanath pointed me in the right direction. I downloaded a copy of jquery.d.ts from here... github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/… and manually loaded it into my lib folder and then placed this line at the top of the TypeScript file... /// <reference path="../lib/jquery.d.ts" /> Now this symbol $.ajax compiles.
