React Report Viewer throws error ts7016 on importing it in a TypeScript project

React Report Viewer throws error ts(7016) on importing it in a TypeScript project:

Could not find a declaration file for module '@progress/telerik-react-report-viewer/dist/cjs/main'. 'C:/Users/dnikolov/Desktop/ReactTypesScript/my-app/node_modules/@progress/telerik-react-report-viewer/dist/cjs/main.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm i --save-dev @types/progress__telerik-react-report-viewer` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module '@progress/telerik-react-report-viewer/dist/cjs/main';`

Hi Marcus,

Have you tried using @ts-ignore? I tested it locally and was able to avoid the errors this way:

//@ts-ignore
import { TelerikReportViewer } from '@progress/telerik-react-report-viewer'

Though, please keep in mind that besides this, you also need to make sure that the report viewer is not used in a component wrapped by the <StrictMode> element, otherwise, the project will be compiled but there will be errors upon rendering.

I hope this will help, please let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,

The solution presented did not solve any issues. we are unable to get the TelerikReportViewer because the error shows as

TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module '@progress/telerik-react-report-viewer'. 'C:/Users/Marcus.Whelan/source/repos/Express.CRP/UIWeb/express-ui/node_modules/@progress/telerik-react-report-viewer/dist/cjs/main.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.   Try `npm i --save-dev @types/progress__telerik-react-report-viewer` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module '@progress/telerik-react-report-viewer';`

And adding the declare statement below does nothing. Even changing the declare to match the import then the component gets an error about 'TS2607: JSX element class does not support attributes because it does not have a 'props' property.'

and

 

TS2786: 'TelerikReportViewer' cannot be used as a JSX component.   Its instance type 'TelerikReportViewer' is not a valid JSX element.     Type 'TelerikReportViewer' is missing the following properties from type 'ElementClass': render, context, setState, forceUpdate, and 3 more.

A workaround is to 

* Add a file with any name name.d.ts in your src folder. I named mine index.d.ts

* put this in the file just like this
   declare module "telerik-react-report-viewer";

* In your tsconfig.json file add this to the compilerOptions

  "noImplicitAny": false,
