In chalk 2.0, it's possible to use tagged strings:

const chalk = require('chalk');
console.log(chalk`{bold some} text`);

How to amend chalk's type definitions to make TypeScript happy with it? Currently, I get:

error TS2349: Cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature. Type 'typeof Chalk' has no compatible call signatures.

With Typescript, you should be using the import syntax vs require, and the error will go away.

import chalk from 'chalk';

Note that at the time you posted your question, there was also a template issue, but it has been fixed since.
