In the development of my Angular 6 application with TypeScript 2.7, I encountered an issue when trying to implement the TextDecoder native function. Upon running ng build --aot, I received the error: error TS2304: Cannot find name 'TextDecoder'.
If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, it would be greatly appreciated. Below are the contents of my tsconfig.json file and the dependencies listed in my package.json file.
Thank you, Bob
