Describe the problem or feature request

Hi, I follow the steps in the page https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/tree/master/tfjs-react-native for a expo managed app, but I get the following error

node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-converter/dist/src/data/compiled_api.ts: 
/Users/itachi/my-apps/react/react-native/mobile-net/node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-converter/dist/src/data/compiled_api.ts: 
Namespace not marked type-only declare. Non-declarative namespaces are only supported experimentally in Babel. 
To enable and review caveats see: https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-plugin-transform-typescript

Failed building JavaScript bundle.

Code to reproduce the bug / link to feature request

These are the commands I’ve run

expo init mobile-net (-> Managed workflow)
cd mobile-net
expo install expo-gl
npm install @tensorflow/tfjs
npm install @tensorflow/tfjs-react-native@alpha
npm install @react-native-community/async-storage
npm install react-native-fs

Added the lines in the App.js file

import * as tf from '@tensorflow/tfjs';
import '@tensorflow/tfjs-react-native';

then

expo start

Hi, I found the following solution. I installed the packages

npm install typescript react-native-typescript-transformer

Then I create, in the root of the project the file metro.config.js as

module.exports = {
    transformer: {
        babelTransformerPath: require.resolve(
            'react-native-typescript-transformer',
        ),
    },
};

And the file tsconfig.json as

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "removeComments": true,
        "preserveConstEnums": true,
        "sourceMap": true
    }
}

At the moment I have no problem

The error message is asking you to add “declare” to the namespace. You can defined your namespace like so: declare namespace MyNamespace {...} OR export declare namespace MyNamespace {...}
