How do I use setTimeout with typescript? [duplicate]

Question

There is a sample of setTimeout using in angular and typescript:

let timer: number = setTimeout(() => {
}, 2000);

On compilation I get this message:

error TS2322: Type 'Timeout' is not assignable to type 'number'.

Ho do I use setTimeout with typescript?

@mr_blond, May you please add the content of the tsconfig.json file? — IAfanasov
