I've got an interface defined as such:

import {AppBuild} from '../models/app-build.model'

export interface Build {
    "Name": string
    "Builds"?: Array<AppBuild>
}

In my component, I've imported it:

import {Build} from '../../models/build.model'

But when I try to declare a variable as a Build: 

build:Build;
build.Name = "Hi";

I get Cannot find name 'Build'.

Why would this be happening?

Here's that entire function if that helps:

let build:Build = new Build();
build.Name = "Hi";
console.log(buildNumber)
let tempBuildArray = new Array<Build>();

return build;

You probably missed 'let' or 'var' keyword, and want to write variable declaration like this:

let build: Build;
//...Initialize your build variable with value here
build.Name = "Hi";

[EDIT]

If you insist on having 'Build' as interface you can initialize it like this:

let build: Build;
build = {Name: '123'};
build.Name = "Hi";

Or you can turn it into class:

export class Build 
{
    public Name: string;
    public Builds: Array<AppBuild>;

    constructor(name: string)
    {
         this.Name = name;
    }
}

and later:

let build: Build;
build = new Build('123');
build.Name = "Hi";

Hope this helps.

It doesn't seem to have worked. Adding the let made that part no longer be highlighted, but now I get cannot set property 'Name' of undefined. I tried setting build:Build = new Build() but it's telling me it doesn't know what Build() is. I'm at a loss. – Alex Kibler Mar 15 at 15:56
