This should not be marked as a feature request, it completely breaks compiling

I added "noImplicitAny": false, in my tsconfig.json and seems like the error is gone.

I solved by adding a types.d.ts file in my src dir with:

declare module "@aws-amplify/ui"; // amplify hack :(

Just stumbled upon this too. Everything else has a proper type declaration file in @aws-amplify. So this seems like just a tiny oversight. Other folders such as @aws-amplify/cache have a lib folder full of .d.ts files. But the UI folder does not.

Add "@aws-amplify/ui": "1.0.18", to package.json, below "aws-amplify": "1.1.26", and good luck 😃)

Yeah, an easy workaround would be just include it, I just wanted to see if a better solution is being take, like creating a typescript type definition of it.

Thanks anyway.
