Angular 13: Unable to build Cannot find namespace 'TopoJSON'

When trying to build a project with ng serve I get the following errors

Error: node_modules/@unovis/angular/dist/lib/components/topojson-map/topojson-map.component.d.ts:56:16 - error TS2503: Cannot find namespace 'TopoJSON'.

56     topojson?: TopoJSON.Topology;
                  ~~~~~~~~


Error: node_modules/@unovis/ts/components/topojson-map/config.d.ts:9:16 - error TS2503: Cannot find namespace 'TopoJSON'.

9     topojson?: TopoJSON.Topology;
                 ~~~~~~~~

I’ve added TopoJSON to my package.json but the issue persists. I’ve added the following packages:

"@types/topojson-specification": "^1.0.2",
"topojson": "^3.0.2",
"topojson-client": "^3.1.0",

However, updating the types in the files to Any fixes the issue. Or just importing TopoJSON into the file explicitly. Is there something I’m missing in setting up the package? I figure that my tsconfig setup can also be the issue but just wanted to check if you guys have seen this before

Had one more error that was fixed by adding @types/lodash

Error: node_modules/@unovis/ts/core/component/index.d.ts:1:23 - error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'lodash'.

1 /// <reference types="lodash" />
                        ~~~~~~

@AhmedHalat Great and thanks for writing about your fix!

When you explicitly set types in your tsconfig, only those types will be visible to the compiler. That’s why you had to add "topojson-client" there explicitly. Here is an excerpt from TSConfig docs:

By default all visible ”@types” packages are included in your compilation. … … If types is specified, only packages listed will be included in the global scope.

We’ll add a few words about it to our docs too.

@AhmedHalat Ok, I’ll need to look deeper into the issue. I’ll keep you posted!
