Missing parseFont typescript definition
andytan0727 opened this issue · comments
I got an error from typescript when using parseFont with the font from importable-fonts, following the instruction from #32:
import figlet from "figlet";
import banner3 from "figlet/importable-fonts/Banner3";
figlet.parseFont("Banner3", banner3);On the 4th line: Property 'parseFont' does not exist on type 'typeof figlet'.
More information:
os: Windows 10
node: 10.12.0
figlet: ^1.2.4
typescript: 3.5.2
This library was written in JavaScript. I’m not very familiar with TypeScript but I can add support if you know what needs to be done to resolve this.
I just realized the declaration file(index.d.ts) required by TypeScript is not included in figlet, instead it is found in @types/figlet (source: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/figlet) package which is updated one year ago. Perhaps this is the main reason the new parseFont method is not defined.
If the declaration file in @types/figlet is updated with the new method I think the problem will be solved :)
Sounds good, just put in an issue to get it updated. I @-ed you so you can follow it.
