when compiled, it will error:

ERROR in E:\Codes\ChartMaker\frontend\node_modules\protobufjs\types\protobuf.js.d.ts
(1284,11): error TS2417: Class static side 'typeof Root' incorrectly extends base class static side 'typeof Namespace'.
Types of property 'fromJSON' are incompatible.
Type '(json: any, root?: Root | undefined) => Root' is not assignable to type '(name: string, json: Object) => Namespace'.
Types of parameters 'root' and 'json' are incompatible.
Type 'Object' is not assignable to type 'Root | undefined'.
The 'Object' type is assignable to very few other types. Did you mean to use the 'any' type instead?
Type 'Object' is not assignable to type 'Root'.
The 'Object' type is assignable to very few other types. Did you mean to use the 'any' type instead?
Property 'deferred' is missing in type 'Object'.
webpack: bundle is now VALID.

Solution

protobuf.js.d.ts, Line 1313 change to :

static fromJSON(json: any, root: Root): Root;

or

protobuf.js.d.ts, Line 754 change to :

static fromJSON(name: string, json?: Object): Namespace;
