2)In setting.ts dataPointSettings class is giving error Class Name must be in a pascal case - Should i change this default class name to Pascal Case?
Thank you Ignat Vilesov for your help,
For other people who takes same error :
Ignat's solution : rename namespace to module in settings.ts and visual.ts.
TypeScript namespaces are not supported yet. Please always use modules instead.

- Did you add settings.ts into tsconfig.json? How did you declare Settings class?
- Yes, you should use PascalCase in TypeScript as per name convention.

Should i change class : 'Visual' to class: 'MyClassName' in visualPlugin.ts ? Because i changed my class name only in visual.ts and pbiviz.json files .Could please share source code to investigate this issue?

This is my tsconfig.json file and setting.ts is already declared in it .
