Despite my efforts to find a solution, I can't seem to align the error I'm receiving ('Cannot use namespace x as a type.') with any other examples online.
In an Ionic3/Angular6 application, I have integrated the ngx-tui-editor npm package to incorporate a markdown editor.
Initially, everything was functioning perfectly. I could interact with the editor, manipulate markdown content, and more. However, after a random refresh while working on integrating it into a form, the aforementioned error started appearing.
The error specifically points to this code snippet (middle line):
options: object;
editor: TuiEditor;
constructor(editorService: TuiService);
within the
/node_modules/ngx-tui-editor/tui-editor.component.d.ts
file.
What steps should I take to resolve this error? I've tried running npm i, npm update, rebuilding, hard refreshing, restarting all processes, yet the error persists.
Edit The import statement for this section is
import * as TuiEditor from 'tui-editor';
, which brings in all dependencies. The index.d.ts file within tui-editor includes declare namespace tuieditor
containing most of the necessary code.
Noteworthy elements at the top of that file include two comments:
// Type definitions for TOAST UI Editor v1.3.1
// TypeScript Version: 3.2.2
While I believe we are using TypeScript 3.9.2, I'm uncertain if this discrepancy is contributing to the issue.
