TypeScript code being linted

import * as moment from 'moment';
import { logger } from './utils/logger';

const x: moment.Moment = moment();

logger.info(x.toString());

with tslint.json configuration:

Actual behavior

Errors reported:

/Users/mrandolph/Projects/***/***/src/server/test.ts
ERROR: 4:26   no-unsafe-any  Unsafe use of expression of type 'any'.
ERROR: 6:13   no-unsafe-any  Unsafe use of expression of type 'any'.

Expected behavior

The ability to use moment.js. As of now tslint is detecting it as type: any, which is causes linting errors. Interestingly, if I try to import a specific method, I still get the same no-unsafe-any errors:

Example:

import { duration, Duration } from 'moment';
import { logger } from './utils/logger';

const x: Duration = duration(1, 'week');

logger.info(x.toString());

Produces output:

/Users/mrandolph/Projects/***/***/src/server/test.ts
ERROR: 4:21   no-unsafe-any  Unsafe use of expression of type 'any'.
ERROR: 6:13   no-unsafe-any  Unsafe use of expression of type 'any'.

Just a heads up - .d.ts file is included with moment - no need to install from @types.
