How to ignore .d.ts file inside npm package?

Question

I'm using react-custom-scrollbars, the index.d.ts file inside package doesn't works for me, while @types/react-custom-scrollbars works well.

My problem is, before this package makes any change, can I use @types/react-custom-scrollbars instead of index.d.ts inside this package?

I try to add explicit reference path

/// <reference path="../../../../../../node_modules/@types/react-custom-scrollbars/index.d.ts" />

In Visual Studio Code, it compiles. But when running, error still:

ERROR in /Users/alen/Workspace/Qunhe/core/node_modules/react-custom-scrollbars/index.d.ts
(3,20): error TS2304: Cannot find name '__React'.

Btw, I'm using webpack 2.

I'm not sure if it will work, but you can try excluding the bundled `index.d.ts` using `exclude` in your `tsconfig.json`. — unional, Mar 09 '17 at 06:54
I tried, it didn't work. and I find an excellent answer about all this tings http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40222162/typescript-2-custom-typings-for-untyped-npm-module I got it works after set 'paths' of compilerOptions, I'll post my solution later. — Alen Liang, Mar 09 '17 at 08:08
I realized it's you again, last week you help me solved another question about typescript.. — Alen Liang, Mar 09 '17 at 08:09
That's good. The problem you have is not a simple one. Glad that you found a solution. The problem is that the TS team was reluctant on disabling the auto searching for typings inside the actual package. I know of an issue related to that. `path` is a nice way out of this by doing one-offs pointing the typings to somewhere else. I didn't think of using it for this purpose so nice find. :) — unional, Mar 09 '17 at 09:49
