javascript - Accessing global method with namespace in TypeScript -

i'm trying call method in .js file looks this:

if (typeof shared === "undefined" || !shared) {      var shared = {};  }    shared.helperclass = (function ()  {      // ... private stuff here        return {          init: function()          {            },            testmethod: function(name)          {              return name;          }      };    })();

naturally call init in javascript, i'd call:

shared.helperclass.init();

now have typescript file i'd call in, throws compiler error because doesn't know is.

how tell typescript these methods such can call code .ts file?

how tell typescript these methods such can call code .ts file?

declare var shared:any;
