Help for localForage #6
Description
Hello @blakeembrey,
I would like to get typings for the localForage library and use those in my project.
At first, I tried using tsd and thus the following typings file: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/localForage/localForage.d.ts
Unfortunately, it imports the es6-promise typings and because Angular 2 (which I also use in my project) expose that already, I end up with the dreaded duplicate identifier error (on 'Promise'):
$ tsd install localForage
- localForage / localForage
-> es6-promise > es6-promise
>> running install..
>> written 2 files:
- es6-promise/es6-promise.d.ts
- localForage/localForage.d.ts
$ tsc
node_modules/angular2/typings/es6-shim/es6-shim.d.ts(475,11): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'Promise'.
node_modules/angular2/typings/es6-shim/es6-shim.d.ts(552,13): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'Promise'.
typings/es6-promise/es6-promise.d.ts(11,15): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'Promise'.
typings/es6-promise/es6-promise.d.ts(42,16): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'Promise'.
Then, since I wanted to give your project a try, I've decided to give it a go, except that I don't really know where to start :)
I first tried a command that failed (can't remember what it was), which led me to fork the registry and try to add a reference towards definitelytyped for localForage: https://github.com/dsebastien/registry-1/commit/828d9998570d4d548f15f9eff9baa8f92e7cc239
Then I found the --ambient flag and realized that it's probably not worth a pull request (?).
Then I've tried typings install localForage --ambient --save which did find the typings on DefinitelyTyped and download those:
$ typings install localForage --ambient --save
? Found typings for localForage in DefinitelyTyped. Ok? Yes
Installing localForage@* (DefinitelyTyped)...

Unfortunately, tsc complains a bit afterwards:

Now I'm wondering how to fix this. I assume that removing either the contents of the browser folder or the ambient one would fix this, but is it the way to do?
Am I missing some other flag?
Or do I need to create some other type of module (i.e., non-ambient) like https://github.com/typings/typed-debug from the info I have on DefinitelyTyped?
Any pointers will be very appreciated :)
