Property 'autoTable' does not exist on type jsPDF

I am using angular2 and Node JS. I have installed jspdf and jspdf-autotable both modules using npm. and in .angular-cli.json file , I have embedded the scripts:

"scripts": [ 
        "../node_modules/jspdf/dist/jspdf.min.js",
        "../node_modules/jspdf-autotable/dist/jspdf.plugin.autotable.js"
      ],

In my component.ts file , I have imported these files as follows:

import * as jsPDF from 'jspdf';
import * as autoTable from 'jspdf-autotable';

In function of component.ts file I am using sample code as follows:

var columns = ["ID", "Country", "Rank", "Capital"];
        var data = [
            [1, "Denmark", 7.526, "Copenhagen"],
            [2, "Switzerland", 	7.509, "Bern"],
            [3, "Iceland", 7.501, "Reykjavík"],
            [4, "Norway", 7.498, "Oslo"],
            [5, "Finland", 7.413, "Helsinki"]
        ];
        var doc = new jsPDF();
        doc.autoTable(columns, data);
        doc.output("dataurlnewwindow");

But now when I run the node command to start app then during compilation I am getting error as Property ‘autoTable’ does not exist on type ‘jsPDF’.

I have console the doc object and found autoTable exists there but don’t know why it is creating error?

Can any one please suggest?

instead of doc.autoTable, For angular, you can use, autoTable(doc, { html: ‘#html-table-id’,startY: 30, });

" You can also use the exported autoTable method. This works better with typescript and alternative jsPDF versions.

import jsPDF from ‘jspdf’ // import jsPDF = require(‘jspdf’) // // typescript without esModuleInterop flag // import jsPDF from ‘yworks-pdf’ // using yworks fork // import jsPDF from ‘jspdf/dist/jspdf.node.debug’ // for nodejs import autoTable from ‘jspdf-autotable’

const doc = new jsPDF() autoTable(doc, { html: ‘#my-table’ }) doc.save(‘table.pdf’) " The above is from the link https://github.com/simonbengtsson/jsPDF-AutoTable#installation

but I am not sure how to get the lastAutoTable.finalY position in typescript.

assuming you have @types/jspdf installed…

import { jsPDF } from 'jspdf';
import 'jspdf-autotable';
import { UserOptions } from 'jspdf-autotable';

interface jsPDFCustom extends jsPDF {
    autoTable: (options: UserOptions) => void;
}

const doc = new jsPDF() as jsPDFCustom;
