You can declare var require: any

Also instead of var fast_image_size = require('../index.js') you could try the following: 

import fast_image_size from '../index.js' // or
import fast_image_size = require('../index.js')

You're receiving this error because this is not how TypeScript handles file imports. TypeScript handles importing or including files in a slightly different manner. To resolve this:

-Remove line 198 ("var fast_image_size = require("..index.js");")

-Instead, at the top of the file add the following line:

import * as fast_image_size from '..index.js'

The rest of your script should then compile.
