ng-particles: Cannot find module 'tsparticles' or its corresponding type declarations.

[j0nm1]

Which version are you using?

ng-particles: 2.12.2
tsparticles: 1.29.2

Is the latest version affected?

• Yes
• No

Which library are you using?

• Vanilla JS (tsparticles)
• Angular (ng-particles)

Describe the bug

The problem exists when compiling an Angular application that uses ng-particles and tsparticles without "skipLibCheck": true in the tsconfig.json.

The error is:

Error: node_modules/ng-particles/lib/ng-particles.component.d.ts:2:38 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'tsparticles' or its corresponding type declarations.

2 import type { Container, Main } from 'tsparticles';
                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Error: node_modules/ng-particles/lib/ng-particles.module.d.ts:1:37 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'tsparticles' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import type { ISourceOptions } from 'tsparticles';
                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Error: node_modules/ng-particles/lib/ng-particles.module.d.ts:9:15 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'tsparticles' or its corresponding type declarations.

9 export * from 'tsparticles';
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With ng-particles: 2.12.2 and tsparticles: 1.27.0 the problem does not exist, but I would like to update my application to the newest version. Furthermore setting "skipLibCheck": true in the tsconfig.json does solve it as well (but I don't think this is a good solution). Maybe it's related to #1472?

Hi @j0nm1,

The other issue was fixed, it was an error in the react component type definition.

What is your TypeScript version? I had some issues with TypeScript <=4.0 and I’m working on a fix that will be out soon (I don’t know how soon yet)

[j0nm1]

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I'm using typescript: 4.0.8

[matteobruni]

Ok that’s the issue, there are broken types definitions for TypeScript <4.1, you can try with 1.29.0, this version should work, the 1.29.2 has some changes that didn’t work as expected

[j0nm1]

Downgrading to version 1.29.0 did not work. But after updating typescript to 4.1.6 it works with 1.29.2.
For me, the problem is resolved with this solution. Thank you!

Thank you @j0nm1 for the test, I’ll investigate more about that before releasing an update
