Using JsBarcode in TypeScript file

Question

I am trying to use JsBarcode (JavaScript only features) in the TypeScript file. But, I am getting the following error,

I looked at possible solutions and I could not find a d.ts for JsBarcode.

Note:

URL of JsBarcode: https://github.com/lindell/JsBarcode

I have referenced the js files correctly in my HTML page,

<script src="Scripts/JsBarcode.all.min.js"></script>
<script src="Scripts/app.js"></script>

Any suggestion on how to include JsBarcode in my TypeScript file is appreciated.

Based on the link provided in comment by Mike, here is how I fixed the issue,

Declared a variable called 'JsBarcode' outside of my typescript class and it did the trick.

declare var JsBarcode: any;

class PrintingConfig {

...

private PrintLabel(): boolean {

        var instance: PrintingConfig = this;        

        if (instance.idTextBox.value.trim().length > 0) {
            JsBarcode("#IDBarcode", instance.idTextBox.value.trim(), {
                width: 1,
                height: 16              
            });            
        }

        ...
}
