Constructing ReconnectingWebsocket error in TypeScript

Code: new ReconnectingWebSocket(url)

Error: 'new' expression, whose target lacks a construct signature, implicitly has an 'any' type.'

I get an error message, when using "strict": true in the compiler options:

test.ts:

import * as ReconnectingWebsocket from 'reconnecting-websocket';

const websocket: WebSocket = new ReconnectingWebsocket('url', undefined, {constructor: WebSocket});

tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2015",
    "module": "es2015",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "strict": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
  }
}

Compile error:

node node_modules/typescript/lib/tsc.js -p tsconfig.json

test.ts(3,30): error TS7009: 'new' expression, whose target lacks a construct signature, implicitly has an 'any' type.

If I remove "strict": true from tsconfig.json, the code compiles fine. But I want this option to be true.

tsc: 2.4.2 reconnecting-websocket: 3.2.2

My understanding is that changing noImplicitAny in the library’s tsconfig will have no effect whatsoever when importing as only the importer project’s tsconfig will be in effect.
