ts(7016) error when trying to import icons

[jbuoncri1]

Hello all,

I'm following the Getting Started page and am on the section of Failing Icons, as when I try and use them the console throws an error saying the icons cannot be found. After copying/pasting the sample code for appending the icon component cache I get this error:

Could not find a declaration file for module '@elastic/eui/es/components/icon/icon'. '/Users/jbuoncri/workspace/Symphony-Cerebrum/syc-ui/node_modules/@elastic/eui/es/components/icon/icon.js' implicitly has an 'any' type. Try npm i --save-dev @types/elastic__euiif it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containingdeclare module '@elastic/eui/es/components/icon/icon';``

Here's what my code looks like. The message above appears when hovering over the error:

Hey hey! Just wanted to let you know we can confirm this is an issue - if possible you should @ts-expect-error or @ts-ignore this for now! We can look into getting module declarations for server-side icon loading in the future, or possibly re-evaluating SSR icons (cc @chandlerprall)

Thank you @constancecchen. Would you like me to close this issue?

You can leave it open - we'd definitely like to fix this so consumers don't have to ignore these Typescript errors!

Commenting to bump the stale bot. The EUI team does intend to more actively support SSR (#5419) as well as other environments (#2760) as part of our upcoming roadmap (in the next ~1 year).
