Plugin does not recognize custom typings

[slnz00]

Issue

There are some packages that don't have types, so I created an index.d.ts file then I declared them there. It works fine when the source is compiled locally but when I'm trying to run any serverless command, it stucks with the following error: Could not find a declaration file for module ... implicitly has an 'any' type. Try npm install ... if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing declare module ...;

TS Config

    "target": "es5",

@slnz00 were you been able to fix this? I'm running into the same issue.

Oh nevermind! I just fixed my issue following this comment: https://github.com/prisma/serverless-plugin-typescript/issues/92#issuecomment-400984161

@andreyvital Does this issue need more attention or can I close this in favour of #92?

same to you

I resolved this with typeRoots. The typeRoots all paths are relative to the tsconfig.json. My tsconfig.json is below

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "typeRoots": ["./src/typings/", "./node_modules/@types/"],
    "module": "commonjs",
    .....
  }
}

project directory struct

project
  -- src/typings/global/index.d.ts
  ....
