I have placed my canvasjs.min.js in the same directory as my component class, as done in the sample project with angular 8.
This error shows: Could not find a declaration file for module ‘./canvasjs.min’. ‘/src/app/canvasjs.min.js’ implicitly has an ‘any’ type.ts(7016)
Glad that you figured it out. Adding "noImplicitAny": false, inside the compilerOptions in TypeScript Config file(tsconfig.json) seems to be working fine.
