waifu2x.upscaleImage is not a function

[Haliq0841]

Please make a testing example (es module) I have done what is explained in the readme

import waifu2x from "waifu2x" 
await waifu2x.upscaleImage() 

but the response is like this

TypeError: waifu2x.upscaleImage is not a function 

So, if you can, just make an example test

on javascript you probably have to use waifu2x.default. Can you try printing it and see what it is?

turns out it works, thanks for the help. I will close this issue. But I have a suggestion for the next update, just use the Canvas Module from NPMJS because the one on GitHub has an error or can't be imported, so I'm forced to only install the old version.

What node.js version are you using? Make sure you have the latest version: https://nodejs.org/en

I can't use the one on npm because it contains a bug and I cannot compile it.

I'm already using the latest version of node.js (nodejs_21), but still can't install, like the response you see below:

To build it you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?q=build+tools

If you still can't install it you are better off asking them as it's an issue with their repo. https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

Canvas is only used to get images from a PDF so if you don't want to upscale PDF's you don't need it. I will try to find an alternative way to do it since it's true that this dependency is a pain to install.

Update to 1.4.0 I dropped the canvas dependency
