wildcard module declaration is ignored

[mithodin]

I am using svgr to automatically create React components from svg files. To make typescript understand this, I have the following declaration file:

declare module '*.svg' {
    import { ReactElement, SVGProps } from 'react';
    const content: (props: SVGProps<SVGElement>) => ReactElement;
    export default content;
}

However, when I'm trying to create a type definition for an entry point that uses some svg imports, I'm getting a bunch of errors like

src/icons/index.ts(3,23): error TS2307: Cannot find module './Checkmark.svg' or its corresponding type declarations.

so the declaration seems to be ignored. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, but I'd like this to work :-)

Sorry for redirect reply, but this is kinda duplicate of #227 (comment)

I think it is worth to summarize ideas about that somewhere so I created a discussion where I tried to explain everything and provided ideas how to solve it - #232. Feel free to ask any questions there.
