Running tsc after importing @alfresco/js-api throws 900 errors about alfresco-js-api

Normally, you should also have the exclude provided:

"exclude": ["node_modules"],

Have you tried this one?

I ommited my inclusion/exclusion rules.

Of course another fix would be to actually address the 900 type errors, most of which are due to not checking for undefined.

Typescript now support ?. which would fix many of the errors.

Just switch off the strict mode for now. There's another issue open of the strict mode support

It looks like it would be possible to fix by outputting the tsc build to a separate folder (or adding a .npmignore rule). I've tested locally by separating the files and that seems to do the trick. Would you accept a PR?

[DenysVuika]

There was a PR merged yesterday, will that help? #1081

[garth]

The PR description seems to describe the same issue. I'm trying test the PR locally, but one of the project dependences (iltorb) won't build.

Ok I have manage to get it working, seems that npm install/build are only compatible with node 12. (Maybe consider volta pin node@12)

I can confirm that #1081 does fix the library in typescript projects.
