Can't load the plugin with typescript 3.2.2

[azakaryan]

When I try to load the plugin into angular7 project I get an Error
ERROR in node_modules/web-streams-polyfill/dist/types/polyfill.d.ts(1,21): error TS2727: Cannot find lib definition for 'es2018.asynciterable'. Did you mean 'esnext.asynciterable'?

I did some investigations and it seems the cause is typescript version I have. 3.2.2

NOTE it works as expected with typescript version 3.5.3 that I have in angular 8 app

I can't upgrade typescript version since it's required by angular 7. The only way to make your polyfill to work is to upgrade to angular 8.

It seems that in typescript 3.2 asynciterable is under esnext.asynciterable instead of es2018.asynciterable.

Please advise. Thank you in advanced.

Indeed, TypeScript 3.2 still considered async iterables to be an upcoming JavaScript feature, so they were still in esnext.asynciterable.

Interestingly, TypeScript 3.5 has both es2018.asynciterable and esnext.asynciterable for backwards compatibility. So I can make the polyfill use the old name and support both old and new TypeScript versions.

I'll look into it. Thanks for reporting! 🙂

@MattiasBuelens when do you think it will be released ?

[MattiasBuelens]

I was considering if I wanted to put anything else in this release. But I can always make another release later. 😄

Released as v2.0.6.
