I continue to work on an existing typescript project. The original project uses gulp - typescript to compile .ts files, but I use the tsc compiler that comes with Visual Studio code. But I can not get ES6 promises to work.
I installed the definition file for ES6 promises:
npm install --save @types/es6-promise
This creates a directory inside the node_modules folder with the promise definition file:
node_modules
@types
es6-promise
index.d.ts
package.json
types-metadata.json
readme.md
tsconfig.json
"files": [
"src/main.ts",
"src/game.ts",
"node_modules/@types/es6-promise/index.d.ts"
]
link
I assume that including the promise definition file now works, but when compiling the project, I get the following error:
error TS2314: Generic type 'Promise<T>' requires 1 type argument(s).
When I look in the source code, I find this:
private componentsPromise: Promise<Component[]>;
private startPromise: Promise;
public getComponents(): Promise<Component[]> {
return this.componentsPromise;
}
public isStarted(): Promise {
return this.startPromise;
}
Is this a simple mistake in the original project, or am I missing something? What do I need to add here to run promises again?
