configure typings for jimu-core

Anonymous User — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 18:29:22 GMT

Hello All,

I'm using VSCode to create custom widgets and can't see to get it to recognize the typings for the jimu packages. Getting warnings like:

Cannot find module 'jimu-core' or its corresponding type declarations.

Changing the client/tsconfig.json didn't seem to help. Webpack still builds OK but the type declaration warnings are hiding more significant problems.

Can someone please point me to how to get this properly configured?

Thanks!

When in VS Code you need to open the client folder not any sub folder in the EB directories. That is the only way to get all the typings for VS Code to have intelisense.

Thanks for your reply Robert. I appreciate your suggestion but that doesn't seem to work for me (see screenshot)

@Anonymous User So did you go through the EB Developer installation/setup instruction (i.e. npm ci on the client and severs folders)?

Did you include jimu-arcgis as a dependency in the manifest.json like so?

{
"name": "get-map-coordinates",
"type": "widget",
"version": "1.5.0",
// *** ADD ***
"dependency": "jimu-arcgis",

Hi, VS code has some extensions that might help.

esri-loader Typing Helper and ArcGIS API for JavaScript Snippets

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not using the esri-loader. Although it didn't help in this situation, appreciate the pointer to the "ArcGIS API for JavaScript Snippets" extension. I hadn't see that before.

Hi John - I am experiencing a similar issue after upgrading to Experience Builder Version 1.8 (I was not getting errors on version 1.7).

Did you ever solve the issue?

I am also having the exact same issue. It appears that this is an error that occurred when the ExperienceBuilder updated and needs to be addressed soon.

Opening from the client folder helped me as Robert suggested,

The solution for this is documented under "Why does VS Code show errors in my custom widget?" https://developers.arcgis.com/experience-builder/guide/frequently-asked-questions/
Adding my project folder name to the `tsconfig.json > include` worked for me.

For me, I had to add 'jimu-core' and its subsequent dependencies to my 'ts-config' file.

Additionally, I needed to include my widget folder in the 'ts-config' file.

Furthermore, I added the following line to the 'manifest.json' file: 'dependency': 'jimu-arcgis'.

tsconfig

manifest.json
