I'm attempting to use jQuery within my project.

Within the package.json file, it has

  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/webpack-env": "^1.13.0",
    "aspnet-webpack": "^2.0.1",
    "awesome-typescript-loader": "^3.0.0",
    "bootstrap": "^3.3.6",
    "css-loader": "^0.25.0",
    "event-source-polyfill": "^0.0.7",
    "extract-text-webpack-plugin": "^2.0.0-rc",
    "file-loader": "^0.9.0",
    "isomorphic-fetch": "^2.2.1",
    "jquery": "^3.2.1",
    "style-loader": "^0.13.1",
    "typescript": "^2.2.1",
    "url-loader": "^0.5.7",
    "vue": "^2.2.2",
    "vue-loader": "^11.1.4",
    "vue-property-decorator": "^5.0.1",
    "vue-router": "^2.3.0",
    "vue-template-compiler": "^2.2.2",
    "webpack": "^2.2.0",
    "webpack-hot-middleware": "^2.12.2"
  }

And within the ProjectName.Web.csproj:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="jQuery" Version="3.2.1" />
  </ItemGroup>

I installed Install jQuery and its type definitions using npm install --save jquery @types/jquery. I then attempt to import jQuery into my Typescript file using import * as $ from 'jquery'; That produces an error:

Could not find a declaration file for module 'jquery'. {project_path}/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.

What setting am I missing in order to use jQuery for this template?
