Anyone tried Building Viewer and got it working?

FrankOuyang — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 01:01:47 GMT

Has anyone tried/used building viewer before and have a functional copy? I cloned the repo from GitHub but can't get it running on my machine. When I run "npm run build", a large amount of error message were generated. Since I am not an expert on JS, I am not very sure how to fix them. I also tried update the module with "npm audit fix" but still no luck in getting it working.

Any help or thoughts on this will be highly appreciated.

That project is pretty old, but you could bandaid it into shape with these changes.

Thank you very much for the answer @ReneRubalcava and it works! I also add the following change to remove an error. Just out of curiosity, how do you figure all these changes out? I tried manipulated all these versioning before but not successful. Thanks again for your kind help.

When I did the npm install, I had a node-gyp error for node-sass I'm familiar with, so I knew that was a deprecated module and to replace it with regular sass. I also thought it was odd that the arcgis-js-api typings weren't installed, as this an older style TS to AMD build, so those were needed. Basically, I've been there, ha.
