The MDN documentation says that Intl.Segmenter is supported in Deno version 1.8 and above. But when trying to use it, I get an error.
error: TS2339 [ERROR]: Property 'Segmenter' does not exist on type 'typeof Intl'.
My code is simply this:
const SEGMENTER = new Intl.Segmenter('en', { granularity: 'grapheme' });
And here's my Deno version info:
deno 1.20.4 (release, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
v8 10.0.139.6
typescript 4.6.2
Am I missing something about why this wouldn't work?
It's there, but it doesn't seem to be in the type definitions, so that's why you are receiving the compiler error. You can either use a @ts- comment directive or the --no-check CLI run argument to avoid the compiler diagnostic and continue execution of your program:
example.ts:
const denoVersion = Deno.version.deno;
// @ts-expect-error
const segmenter = new Intl.Segmenter("en", { granularity: "grapheme" });
console.log({ denoVersion, segmenter });
> deno run example.ts
{ denoVersion: "1.20.4", segmenter: Intl.Segmenter {} }
