Error TS2656: Exported external package typings file '[...]/node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/firebase.d.ts' is not a module.

Hello,

I floowed the instructions in the README file but I keep getting this error:

app/app.component.ts(13,27): error TS2656: Exported external package typings file '/home/gio/GIT/xyz/node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/firebase.d.ts' is not a module. Please contact the package author to update the package definition.

Could it be that some intervention is needed on firebase.d.ts, as the error says?

Thanks

I've also encountered the same issue.
As a temporary fix I removed the typings line in the package.json of the plugin.
Eddy, do you have more insight on this?

I just found out that if Typescript is updated to version 2.0.3 the error disappears.

Perhaps it could be a good idea to add a disclaimer in the README? The stub apps coming from NativeScript include version 1.8.10 of TypeScript (at least the ones I used, perhaps now this has changed).

@giordy That's ok, are you willing to do a PR?

[giordy]

@EddyVerbruggen sure, working on it
