    Hello TedPattison,

     

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The powerbi-visuals-tools (PBIVIZ) <1.5.0 doesn't support @types packages due to using TypeScript 1.8.x.

    We've have updated TypeScript version in PBIVIZ tools and it's 2.1.6 now.

    We've already been using @types since PBIVIZ 1.5.0 release. We're going to update our documentation soon.
