ES2015 modules are not supported by Power BI Csutom Visuals Tools (pbiviz).

 

We'd recommend to use older version of lodash and lodash types:

 

npm i @types/d3@3.5.36 d3@3.5.5

Did you include a link to lodash.d.ts into tsconfig.json?

solved it by adding following code to the loadsh.d.ts file
 
import * as _ from 'lodash'

declare global{
var _:_.LoDashStatic & {
remove<T, K extends keyof T>(
object: T,
key?: K,
defaultValue?: T[K]
): T[K]
getKeyByValue(object, value)
mapIfDefined(array, func)
mod(n, m)
move(array, oldIndex, newIndex)
pick<T, K extends keyof T>(obj: T, ...keys: K[]): Pick<T, K>
}
}
 
Now I am getting following errorc4.PNG
