Typescript error

[eranimo]

Only a void function can be called with the 'new' keyword.

The typescript definition file appears to be invalid

As a workaround I am doing this:

import * as alea from 'alea';

interface PrngFactory {
  new(seed?: string): () => number;
}

const Alea: PrngFactory = (alea as unknown) as PrngFactory;

let prng = new Alea('foo'); // no errors

you can just call Alea as a normal function, i.e. just Alea('foo') without the new keyword
