What is Ambient Modules?
Ambient modules in TypeScript are used to describe the shape of existing JavaScript code when you don't have the TypeScript declaration files (.d.ts) readily available. They essentially allow you to tell the TypeScript compiler about the existence and structure of a JavaScript module, so you can import and use it in your TypeScript code without getting type errors, even if the module itself wasn't written in TypeScript.
