TypeScript let's you import a libraries types using: import type X from "package" So assuming you are pulling in PixiJS with a <script> tag you could npm install the PixiJS package just for the types. It could look like this: import type * as IPixi from "pixi.js" declare const PIXI: IPixi Then when you compile all the "import type" statements will be removed.
