Which terms did you search for in User Guide?

TypeScript module augmentation seems to be the main one, though i did search including the error code ts-1208

Environment

Steps to Reproduce

I’m installing a three.js plugin in a TypeScript project, unfortunately it doesn’t have type definitions, so i have trouble when importing, tried to create a module definition with no luck:

Expected Behavior

I expected to import a random JS module that has no Typings definition & maybe be forced to write a simple empty definition for it.

Actual Behavior

I was trying to put flag isolatedModules to false to be able to define the typing definition but build process keeps reverting to true, which seems to block me from creating the definition.

Reproducible Demo

As soon as i have more time.

(Paste the link to an example project and exact instructions to reproduce the issue.)

You should be able to disable noImplicitAny in tsconfig.json to get around this as well.
