using MomentJS with TypeScript – What type does moment() have?

As Mike McCaughan said, the moment object cannot be injected in the constructor. Somehow this was possible with an old version of MomentJS. this could be resolved by removing the constructor property and accessing the global moment object that is included via import * as moment from "moment".

The function moment() returns a Moment object. This can be typed via moment.Moment.

So the code can be rewritten as follows:

import * as moment from "moment";

export class DateThingy{

     constructor() {
     }

     public getDate(): moment.Moment { 
        return moment();
     }
}
