API Extractor cannot find name OffscreenCanvas

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m trying to publish a TypeScript library npm package that includes Pixi, and Microsoft API Extractor is failing OffscreenCanvas

build:types
> tsc -p ./tsconfig.json --outDir build --declaration true && api-extractor run

node_modules/@pixi/core/index.d.ts:1543:45 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'OffscreenCanvas'.

1543     static test(source: unknown): source is OffscreenCanvas | HTMLCanvasElement;
                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

node_modules/@pixi/text/index.d.ts:272:41 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'OffscreenCanvas'.

                                                                                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Think there’s some movement with offscreen canvas, maybe this has already been addressed.

FYI, or please advise if this seems in error.

Environment

pixi.js: 6.2.2
tslib: 2.3.1
TypeScript: 4.5.5
@microsoft/api-extractor: 7.19.4

I’ve stubbed my toe on this too. If you add @types/offscreencanvas to your project it should fix. But we should add this as a dependency.
