How to build locally?

[svzi]

I want to make some improvements on the Android part for this plugin. Sadly I don't get it to compile on my local machine. I forked this repository and checked it out. When I run npm run setup, tsc is reporting some issues::

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'Array'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'Boolean'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'Function'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'IArguments'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'Number'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'Object'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'RegExp'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'String'.

fancyalert.ios.ts(180,60): error TS4070: Parameter 'attributionBlock' of public static method from exported class has or is using private name 'Function'.

Any help would be really much appreciated.

I use TypeScript version 2.4.2 together with NPM 5.3.0 on Mac OS X. What else do you need to know?

Best,
Sven

Could you please help us @NathanWalker ?

[bradmartin]

#29 @svzi this should help

[svzi]

That looks very promising @bradmartin ! I hope that will get merged soon, because I want to submit my local modifications based on your PR.

Go for it @svzi 👍

I was on vacation when you posted this. Brad saved day thank you!

Regarding the all-too-common error "has or is using private name", I've opened a request to fix issues like these in TypeScript by bringing declaration files to parity with language features. microsoft/TypeScript#35822
