jsroot node basic example not working

Hi there,

I’m probably doing something (really) stupid, but I can’t get some basic example to work.

What I’m doing :

npm init -y
npm install jsroot
copy and paste code from https://root.cern/js/latest/api.htm#node_js_create_svg_src into first.js
node first.js

The result is :

~/tmp/testjsroot$ node --version
v12.18.1
~/tmp/testjsroot$ node first.js
JSROOT version 5.9.0 9/10/2020
load scripts/rawinflate.min.js
load scripts/JSRootIOEvolution.js
/Users/laurent/tmp/testjsroot/first.js:12
  .then((file) => file.ReadObject("hpxpy;1"))
  ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/laurent/tmp/testjsroot/first.js:12:3)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1138:30)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1158:10)

    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (internal/modules/run_main.js:71:12)
    at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:47

If I’m trying with the non-promise version it works though :

~/tmp/testjsroot$ curl https://root.cern/js/latest/demo/node/makesvg.js >| test.js && node test.js

Thanks. One last question if I may : will 6.0 include Typescript type definitions by any chance ?

I closing issue - JSROOT v6 was released. If you want to have Typescript type definitions file, please open new issue and provide example - I found some examples with modules, but JSROOT v6 do not use modules yet
