How can I remove the dependency on prop-types (as TypeScript provides type-safety already)?

[shirakaba]

In order to subscribe to the <Loop> component's loop, I need to import prop-types as a module dependency, and add the following field into any class extending React.Component:

static contextTypes = {
    loop: PropTypes.object,
};

However, upon doing this, all other static fields on my TypeScript class (eg. functions and variables) begin to return undefined whenever referenced.

Is it possible to subscribe to the <Loop> component's loop without using prop-types at all, and without warnings being thrown in the console? Or at least is there a way to use the prop-types package without breaking other static functions in TypeScript classes?
