I tried to use the node module in an Angular 6 typescript.
first: npm i shortid
In TypeScript class:
import { shortid } from 'shortid';
let Uid = shortid.generate();
but i got an error "can not find function generate()";
how to use it correctly ?
Instead of
import { shortid } from 'shortid';
do
import { generate } from 'shortid';
and execute the code with
let Uid = generate();
shortid
doesn't come with TypeScript typings preinstalled, so you won't get information about what exactly you can import, arguments and return values within IDEs like Visual Studio Code.
You can fix this by installing typings for shortid
- go to Microsoft's TypeSearch website, enter "shortid" and you'll be redirected to the npm package @types/shortid , which you can install with npm i @types/shortid
. You can also check the DefinitelyTyped repository directly, where a lot of types for javascript packages are published.
After installing they typings, the IDE will show you information and offer auto completion for shortid
similar to native typescript modules.
