Cannot file module 'google

Issue description Hi 😃

Im using this library with google places api. So I lazy load the js file:

this.places = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(el.nativeElement.children[0], {
        types: ['(cities)'],
        componentRestrictions: { country: 'fr' }
      });

The problem is that the typescript compiler is telling me Cannot find name 'google' since it loads dynamically I guess i cannot use the /// <reference path="???" />

Any ideas?

A bit late to the party, but in case someone ends up on this page… This worked for me:

npm install @types/googlemaps --save

Then in the component where I use the google name:

import { } from '@types/googlemaps';

I hope it helps.
