Typing issue with custom build

[hubgit]

Issue

I'm following the custom build instructions and everything's working well apart from an issue with types that I haven't been able to resolve:

When using import RxDB from 'rxdb/plugins/core' (where rxdb/plugins/core/index.d.ts contains import * as RxDB from '../../src/index';) tsc produces the error node_modules/rxdb/plugins/core/index.d.ts(1,23): error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module '../../src/index'. '[…]/node_modules/rxdb/src/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.

The suggested resolution, adding declare module 'rxdb', doesn't help in this situation.

[edit] I can work around this by enabling TypeScript's skipLibCheck, so it's not too much of a problem.

Info

• Environment: browser
• Stack: TypeScript 2.7.2

Hi @hubgit
Thanks for finding this out. I could not reproduce this, but think I found the problem. Can you try this out by modifying the typings of the core-plugin in your node_modules-folder.

Thanks - that seems to fix the warning.

When using a custom build, i.e. importing RxDB from "rxdb/plugins/core", where should an application import things like RxDocument and RxCollection from, that would normally be imported from "rxdb"?
