When I do
npm install aws-sdk
in Angular 7, I get an error
Error TS2580: Cannot find name 'Buffer'.
Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try npm i @types/node
and even though I do run install npm i @types/node, I am still getting the same error:
To resolve this issue, you can try to add in your tsconfig.app.json the following line:
"types": ["node"]
Angular is complaining because some node environment types are needed.
Please modify your files as follows:
// aws-sdk requires global to exist
(window as any).global = window;
to /src/polyfills.ts and
"types": ["node"]
to compilerOptions block in /src/tsconfig.app.json
