If you want to use Typings and typescript, you can make the following tsconfig.json, and your files will automatically get imported, as you install new type definitions:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs",
"target": "es5",
"noImplicitAny": false,
"sourceMap": false
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules"
],
"files": [
"./app/index.tsx",
"./typings/main.d.ts"
]
}
