Solution
If you are encountering an issue with the numeric package missing an index.js
file, you will need to manually add the script reference in your project's angular.json
configuration.
angular.json
{
"architect": {
"projects": {
"your-app-name": {
"build": {
"scripts": [] <-- remember to modify this
}
}
}
}
}
After making the necessary adjustment, your configuration should resemble the following example, assuming there are no other custom scripts being imported.
{
"architect": {
"projects": {
"your-app-name": {
"build": {
"scripts": ["node_modules/numeric/numeric-1.2.6.js"]
}
}
}
}
}
Don't forget to stop and restart your ng serve
command after modifying the angular.json
file for the changes to take effect.
Functionality Overview
By including the script reference in the angular.json
, you make the numeric library accessible through the global window
object in the browser as window.numeric
.
In addition to this global access, if you have downloaded the corresponding typings, you can import them into your components using
import * as numeric from 'numeric'
. This allows you to leverage the functionalities provided by the numeric namespace exported in the typings.
import * as numeric from 'numeric';
@Component({...}) export class SomeComponent {
x = numeric.solve(x,v);
}
Since the import serves as type information only, it is removed during TypeScript transpilation to JavaScript. Consequently, the numeric functions should work seamlessly as they are globally available on the window object.
