Use Promise with TypeScript

[Tjeerd]

I can't get Promise working when using TypeScript.

My code is:

import geolocation from 'geolocation';

export function getCurrentLocation(): Promise<any> {
  return new Promise<any>((resolve: any, reject: any) => {
    
    geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position: any) => {
      resolve(position.coords);
    }, (error: any) => {
      reject(error);
    });
  });
}

When building I get the error:

/companion/util.ts (4,14): TS2693: 'Promise' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.

TypeScript is not officially supported by Fitbit Studio yet, but as a temporary solution:

declare const Promise: any;
