I have a javascript function that I am trying to convert to typescript. Here's a part of the function:
// needs Markdown.Converter.js at the moment (function () { var util = {}, position = {}, ui = {}, doc = window.document, re = window.RegExp, I am getting an error telling me that: The property RegExp does not exist on type Window. Is there any kind of definition file that I could include for window?
You may try passing global arguments to the anonymous block:
(function(window, document) { var re = window.RegExp; console.log(re); })(window, document);Open console...
Just FYI, you don't need to use window for RegExp and in fact its bad practice because you are converting your JS Environment (Node.js / Browser) independent code to Browser specific code for no reason. Its like using global.RegExp in node.js when you clearly don't need to use global. I would do :
// needs Markdown.Converter.js at the moment (function () { var util = {}, position = {}, ui = {}, doc = window.document, re = RegExp; // No error })();
