    import ChicletSlicer  = powerbi.extensibility.visual.ChicletSlicer;

You just need to install Chiclet Slicer as a dependency via NPM. After that please add TS files into your tsconfig.json. Please do the same for externalJS from pbiviz.json.

 

After these steps you will be able to import Chiclet Slicer to inherit it.

    That is list the github repo in my package.json as a dependancy, the path to all of the .ts files in the chiclet slicers src folder to my tsconfig. What should be added to externalJS?

        Can you clarify what does the import statement look like? I have followed your instructions, I currently have the link to chiclet-slicers github repo listed in my depenencies, I have copied the urls in the externalJS, and tsconfig. I don't know what to do from here. I've tried various import statements nothing seems to work.
