I’m working on a Pixi.js application where I need to store the application instance globally using globalThis. I’ve extended the Window interface to include a custom property PIXI_APP. However, when I try to assign the application instance to globalThis.PIXI_APP, I encounter the TypeScript error TS7017: Element implicitly has an ‘any’ type because type ‘typeof globalThis’ has no index signature.
I extended the Window interface in a declare global block and tried assigning the application instance to globalThis.PIXI_APP. Despite this, TypeScript does not recognize the property on globalThis, leading to the mentioned error.
declare global {
interface Window {
__PIXI_APP__: any;
}
}
globalThis.__PIXI_APP__ = application;

Fixed this common issue while using PixiJS Devtools.
Tried like below and working fine at my end.
declare global {
interface GlobalThis {
__PIXI_APP__: any;
}
}
export {};
(globalThis as any).__PIXI_APP__ = application; Ashutosh is a new contributor to this site. Take care in asking for clarification, commenting, and answering.
