1046 - Top-level declarations in .d.ts files must start with either a 'declare' or 'export' modifier.

🔍 Regex Patterns

regexFind: /(const|let|var|function|class|interface|type|enum)\s+/
regexReplace: declare $1 

💡 Suggestion

Add declare or export modifier to top-level declaration. In .d.ts files, all top-level declarations must be prefixed with either 'declare' or 'export'.

📝 Examples

Example 1: Missing declare modifier on const

-  const globalValue = 42
+  declare const globalValue: number

Explanation: Add declare modifier and proper type annotation

Example 2: Missing declare modifier on function

-  function globalFunction() {}
+  declare function globalFunction(): void

Explanation: Add declare modifier and return type annotation
