The module or file WebAPI can't be found.

Hi!

I installed experimental-rescript-webapi

npm i @rescript/webapi@experimental --save-dev

package.json

  "@rescript/webapi": "^0.1.0-experimental-0781ac8"

I added the dependency
rescript.json

  "dependencies": ["@rescript/webapi"]

When I compile, I get an error:

The module or file WebAPI can't be found.

However, Fetch, Response, etc., are accessible directly (I'm not using -open WebAPI)
Could you please tell me what the problem is?

rescript version: ^12.3.0

Hmm, that is curious. I have a similar issue which is fixed by fixing the version in package.json to "12.2.0" and a new npm install.

Note that you typically would install it not as a dev-dependency but a normal one (without --save-dev)

@jderochervlk I am afraid we need
"namespace": "WebAPI",
back. Now all the modules are included in the main namespace which collides for instance with the Dom module that v12 still ships.

It's DOM vs. Dom btw. but that's the same for macOS and Windows unfortunately.
