TypeScript "Cannot find module" errors about alertjs HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Ben, which version of the alert.js file are you using? And do you have a reference to the actual .js file in your project as well?

from alertjs.

Here's some more info about what else needs to be included in the project: https://github.com/PaulNieuwelaar/alertjs/wiki/Documentation-v3.0#typescript-definition

Hi Paul, I'm using version 2.1, implemented several years ago and with no need for Dialog functionality. I do not have a reference to the .js file no, I guess this must be the error? I guess also that I will need to convert the .js file to TypeScript in order for it to be compatible. I will do this and come back.

Wrt https://github.com/PaulNieuwelaar/alertjs/wiki/Documentation-v3.0#typescript-definition, this only gave me the location of the TypeScript definition file, I'm not using PCF controls so I don't see any other relevant info there...

Hi Ben, Ah yeah the TypeScript definition was created from 3.1+ and it hasn't been tested with 2.1 (which we no longer support). In theory it should still work as the solutions are backwards compatible, as long as you don't use the 3.0+ features. Only thing that may have issues is the jQuery reference as v2.1 tries to get this from the parent page, which may not exist in a ts project.

You'll need to include the js/img/css files in your project manually. You shouldn't need to convert the js to ts. Just make sure the folder structure matches the CRM solution, e.g. /alertjs/js/alert.js, /alertjs/js/alert.d.ts, /alertjs/css/alert.css, /alertjs/img/alert.png, /alertjs/img/alert.gif. Then when you import the alert module it should match up with the other files.
