Build error @types/highlight.js/index.d.ts (22,40): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Node'.

[rajinder-yadav]

I am seeing this error, suspect it's due to types, however I'm not using highlight.js, so this is odd?

ERROR in /home/yadav/dev/project/furi_project/furi_node_router/node_modules/@types/highlight.js/index.d.ts
(22,40): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Node'.

TS Version: 2.0.10

OK I added "dom" to lib in tsconfig, error went away, is this right?

What does "dom" do, my project is using TS for node.js core, no other modules.

You have the types for highlight.js installed. Delete them.

[rajinder-yadav]

Where would highlight.js be installed? I've deleted node_modules and did a npm install for my project, my package.json has only these modules:

 "devDependencies": {
    "nodemon": "^1.11.0",
    "tap-summary": "^3.0.1",
    "tape": "^4.6.2",
    "ts-loader": "^1.2.2",
    "tslint": "^4.0.0",
    "typedoc": "^0.5.1",
    "typescript": "^2.0.10",
    "webpack": "^1.13.3"
  },

Right here https://github.com/TypeStrong/typedoc/blob/master/package.json#L35

[aluanhaddad]

The method is typed as taking a DOM Node. You can add "lib" :[ "dom" ] to tsconfig.json.compilerOptions

Thanks, I really appreciate the helpful info, more knowledgeable of the going on! Everything make sense now 💯

@rajinder-yadav please ask questions on Stack Overflow -- this isn't a general support forum for TypeScript. Thanks!

[rajinder-yadav]

@RyanCavanaugh it started off me feeling this was a bug, I even followed up, don't see this as asking for "support" help.

This might be an issue with the definition too, which you can report to DefinitelyTyped. It should work without dom for Node.js usage.

[rajinder-yadav]

Thanks @blakeembrey, was not sure initially where to go report this.
