TypeScript / Webpack (Tutorial fail) typings errors on node_modules

Question

I am trying to get compiled TypeScript code (.tsx -> .js) to package up with Webpack so I can do some front-end work and run the code in the browser. (I actually have some more requirements, like needing to share some front-end (browser) TypeScript code with the Node.js server and running all of this stuff inside of Electron, but those are secondary.)

I just followed this tutorial:

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/react-&-webpack.html

And when I typed webpack at the end I got 1000+ errors (truncated):

$ webpack

Are there any other tutorials or skeletons/bootstrap downloads that will help me set up a test project in the manner I have described? Or is there a way to tweak this tutorial so that it works as expected instead of being worse than trying to just follow one of the Webpack tutorials? It seems like the awesome-typescript-loader plugin is anything but.

(As an aside, am I just crazy or is the JS/Node ecosystem like the "Wild West (or "Let 1,000 flowers bloom", depends on your perspective). All these tools that are supposed to make JS dev more convenient and powerful have a really high upfront complexity cost, with infinite flexibility yet they require a lot of yak-shaving. Am I alone in this?)

I think the TypeScript in node_modules might be messing things up, or the awesome-typescript-loader is broken (failing type checking?). The gulp stuff is related to typescript. I tried npm uninstall typescript but awesome-typescript-loader needs that package, I think. I tried [email protected] to try to match with [email protected] but that just gives different errors — Jared Updike

I'd also recommend running this against webpack 2 if possible. — Sean Larkin
– Sean Larkin, Commented Dec 24, 2016 at 20:32
you should add "skipLibCheck": true to your tsconfig.json to tell the compiler to not check libraries or you can add an "exclude" section to your tsconfig.json where you can explicitly exclude files/folders that you don't want to be type checked.. see here typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html — John Ruddell
– John Ruddell, Commented Dec 24, 2016 at 20:34
A few weeks ago I set up a typescript react sample with webpack perhaps it can give you some hints. You can find it at github.com/KalleOtt/react-ts-sample I agree that there is a very high complexity in the beginning but you will get used to it ;) — Kalle

Per my earlier comment, you can tell the compiler to exclude libraries that are presumably already type checked. From that tutorial the tsconfig.json file they give you looks like this

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "./dist/",
        "sourceMap": true,
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "module": "commonjs",
        "target": "es5",
        "jsx": "react"
    },
    "include": [
        "./**/*"
    ]
}

try changing it to this

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "./dist/",
        "sourceMap": true,
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "module": "commonjs",
        "target": "es5",
        "jsx": "react"
    },
    "include": [
        "./**/*"
    ],
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

That fixes it. Thank you. The webpack command works and the dist/ output works.
