jquery : Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type. Variable 'jQuery' must be of type 'any', but here has type 'JQueryStatic'

Question

I installed ng2-fullcalendar calendar in my angualar project. But am getting an error in, path/node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts

error message is

Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type. Variable 'jQuery' must be of type 'any', but here has type 'JQueryStatic'.

declare module "jquery" {
    export = $;
}
declare var jQuery: JQueryStatic;
declare var $: JQueryStatic;

When I changed "JQueryStatic" to "any" it works. Since the change is in node_modules directory I cannot make the change for permanently. How can I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

Couple of options could help:

1. exclude node_modules in tsconfig
2. set "skipLibCheck" to false in tsconfig.compilerOptions
