Cannot find name 'ProgressEvent' when compiling TypeScript

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When trying to compile a Firebase function (Node.js / TypeScript) I get an error:

node_modules/axios/index.d.ts:62:38 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'ProgressEvent'.

62   onUploadProgress?: (progressEvent: ProgressEvent) => void;
                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

node_modules/axios/index.d.ts:63:40 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'ProgressEvent'.

63   onDownloadProgress?: (progressEvent: ProgressEvent) => void;
                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To Reproduce

Example of a package.json that fails to compile using npm run build.

{
  "name": "functions",
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint -c .eslintrc.js --ext .ts ./src",
    "lint-fix": "eslint -c .eslintrc.js --fix --ext .ts ./src",
    "build": "tsc",
    "serve": "npm run build && firebase serve --only functions",
    "shell": "npm run build && firebase functions:shell",
    "start": "npm run shell",
    "firebase": "firebase serve --only functions --port=8080",
    "deploy": "npm run build && npm run lint && firebase deploy --only functions",
    "logs": "firebase functions:log"
  },
  "main": "lib/index.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.20.0",
    "firebase-functions": "^3.10.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^3.9.1",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^3.9.1",
    "eslint": "^7.7.0",
    "eslint-config-prettier": "^6.11.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.22.0",
    "eslint-plugin-prettier": "^3.1.4",
    "prettier": "^2.0.5",
    "typescript": "^3.9.7"
  },
  "private": true,
  "engines": {
    "node": "10"
  }
}

Expected behavior

The Node.js code should compile.

Environment

Axios Version: 0.20.0
Node.js Version: 10.21.0

As a quick fix, you can downgrade the axios version by using the following in your package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.19.0"
}

Make sure to re-run npm install afterwards.

👋 Hey folks, I’d like to suggest to avoid the dependency on lib dom and instead of using a triple-slash directive replace ProgressEvent with its structural equivalent. This will allow Axios types to transpile correctly on both frontend and pure Node.js projects.

Please see my proposal at #3228.

Thanks, Jan
