// When a module is not yours - try to install types from @types:
npm install -D @types/module-name
// If the above install errors - try changing import statements to require:
// import * as yourModuleName from 'module-name';
const yourModuleName = require('module-name');
const { abc } = yourModuleName;
// works like a charm

// create file : module.d.ts
declare module 'react-native-vector-icons/*';
