atom-typescript | The only TypeScript package you will ever need | Chat library

I have made an angular 1 project with typescript using this yeoman generator: https://github.com/FountainJS/generator-fountain-systemjs
It uses SystemJS and jspm to get dependencies but npm for type definitions (using DefinitelyTyped repository).

I have been struggling these last few days trying to import moment type definitions. I have installed moment using jspm, and i have discovered that it comes with its own type definitions, so if you call the command npm install @types/moment --save-dev you only get a stub and a deprecation warning

This is a stub types definition for Moment (https://github.com/moment/moment). Moment provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/moment installed!

Now, i don't know if it's my editor, project or typescript settings or really a typescript issue, but i can't seem to be able to properly import moment's type definitions.

if i do either import moment from 'moment'; or import * as moment from 'moment'; i get this error on my editor (atom with atom-typescript, but i have the same error on Visual Studio Code) Cannot find module 'moment'.

Despite this error, when i build my application it works fine (calling moment functions works).

I have tried a lot of solutions i found on the internet (apparently, importing type definitions from moment is a common issue) but none worked. Yesterday I managed to make it work by manually creating the directory moment inside node_modules/@types and put moment.d.ts inside it (i had to rename it index.d.ts though).

Since i didn't really like this solution, i wanted to at least create a types folder i could put stuff into without having to modify node_modules structure. So i created a folder custom-types and put the moment folder with types definitions there, then added custom-types into tsconfig.json, i thought this would've worked fine but actually the error reappeared...

Now i'm out of ideas, and i don't really know what else to try.

This is my current tsconfig.json (in the last attempt to make things work i have added the custom-types folder with different paths, although it's on the same level as the node_modules folder and tsconfig.json file)
