Cannot find module '@pixi/filter-bloom' (TypeScript)

[srcnuzn]

Hello!

I want to try out some additional filters, e. g. the bloom filter. I followed the instructions on npm - @pixi/filter-bloom.

But when i add the import statement into my main.ts, i get the following error:

"Cannot find module '@pixi/filter-bloom'. Did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'node', or to add aliases to the 'paths' option?"

 

This is a snippet from my main.ts:

 

The module appears under my node_modules directory and comes with a types.d.ts:

       

 

The module is listed in my package.json file:

 

Any idea how to solve this error?

Best regards,

I solved it!!  For anyone, running into the same problem:

You need to add the module to the types field in your tsconfig.json file:

 

In VSCode, i also get the type information now.

 

Since im new to typescript and web-dev, maybe someone could tell me if this approach is correct?
Also, maybe someone can explain what's happening in the background. 

Thanks anyways
