TS2339: Property 'includes' does not exist on type 'string'



I have seen this error mentioned in regards to string arrays but not actual strings. I have a TypeScript file with the line


if (!bus.lineInfo.PublishedLineName.includes(input)) {



This gives me an error of


TS2339: Property 'includes' does not exist on type 'string'.



bus is a variable that implements the bus interface:


bus


bus


interface bus
"lineInfo": string // false if this is "FFFFFF", otherwise it's the color
,
"warnings": boolean



lineInfo.PublishedLineName is declared as a string, and String.prototype.includes() is a function according to MDN, so why does the TypeScript compiler complain about the missing property/method?


lineInfo.PublishedLineName


string


String.prototype.includes()





What is includes or what do you think it is?

I believe it is a string method; I've updated my post to reflect that along with a link

What are the "target" and "lib" settings in your tsconfig.json? String.includes is in ES6.

tsconfig.json


String.includes





@MattMcCutchen "target" is set to es5. I don't have a "lib" option set. Setting "lib" to "es2015" removes the string error but causes a bunch of errors in thea jQuery d.ts file I have from DefinitelyTyped.

es5

You should add es2016 or es7 lib complierOptions in tsconfig.json. Default TypeScript doesn't support some es6 polyfill functions


lib



"compilerOptions":
...
"lib": [
"dom",
"es7"
]




Or change build target to es2016 if you no longer want to support ES5 anymore



"compilerOptions":
...
"target" "es2016"






Perfect! Can you please explain what "dom" does/includes support for?

dom support frontend interface (DOM, Event...). Some library is used for both frontend and backend, when compiling it will alert syntax error. If you develop backend, and there is no error when compiling, you can remove it

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
