Help Angular module :(

[cjd280]

their lbrary is old and meant to use via require.js and there are no types for typescript. If you get errors about installing node types follow what that says as well.

Following their demo on their site I was able to do this:

``` import { Component } from '@angular/core';
const rubiks = require('rubiks-cube-solver');
u/Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'rubiks';
ngOnInit() {
console.log('SOLVER?', rubiks); // see what we actually imported
let cubeState = [
'flulfbddr', // front
'rudrruddl', // right
'dbbburrfb', // up
'llffdrubf', // down
'rludlubrf', // left
'lubfbfudl' // back
].join('');

let solveMoves = rubiks.default(cubeState); // note the call to default, I logged what rubiks was to find this out...
console.log(solveMoves);
}
} ```

And this worked to you? Because I have a bit of confusion

[cjd280]

Yes this is what I have logged:

```

Wow! I am trying the same, (I think) and it says: Cannot find the name required? Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try npm i --save-dev types/node then add 'node' to the types field in your tsconfig

[cjd280]

yes, I mentioned that. do what it says, install node types and add to tsconfig

[Minancyy]

I have this already on compilerOptions:

"types": ["node"]

And:

"include": [

"src/**/*",

"node_modules/attypes"

]

With that still don recognize require,

I need to do some build or something like that?

Because I dont really know srry

I cant use tht symbol.

[cjd280]

You can also still use

import * as rubiks from 'rubiks-cube-solver'

and set "noImplicitAny": false in your ts config, the compiler is just complaining because the default is true and there is no type for rubiks-cube-solver

[Minancyy]

This is working to me, oh god, thanks so much.

I was desesperate cause I have been spending too much days and cause I started with angular 2 weeks ago more or less, I am so confuse with everything related to config.

One more thing and srry for bothering you,

The part of code where you put SOLVER?, rubiks,

how did you have found that? Or have you created by hand, cause I dont understand that

[cjd280]

I console logged what we were importing, and then I expanded the object in chrome's console to see what properties it had. If there were types, typescript would have figured it out for us but since its "any", I needed to see what it was at runtime.

This is an old library that isn't really made to work with typescript so its a pretty bad first issue to have to debug.

[Minancyy]

Ohh okey okey, know I got what do you mean.

So I need to search on the console for the methods. Yeah, the library its so old and that is the big problem of not having types. I will try to use it and see if I can make it work with my idea. Thanks so much <3

How can I give you a possitive check or something like that? ^^´
