[lilrinchi]

For some reason when I try to import the react-bootstrap-table-next it doesnt work

import BootstrapTable from 'react-bootstrap-table-next';

module "/home/rin/sc-deal/client/node_modules/react-bootstrap-table-next/lib/index"
Could not find a declaration file for module 'react-bootstrap-table-next'. '/home/rin/sc-deal/client/node_modules/react-bootstrap-table-next/lib/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
Try npm install @types/react-bootstrap-table-next if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing declare module 'react-bootstrap-table-next';ts(7016)

When I try the fix they suggested:

I'm assuming you're using typescript.
The problem might be that there are no type definitions for this package. When you attempt the recommended fix, it tells you that DefinitelyTyped does not have an existing module for this package. In this case you can declare your own typings, or create a module.

@amirafzali is correct, I didn't provide the type offical

Anybody have any types to share to get rolling?
