How do I install FileReaderSync in Angular2?
It appears in the file node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.webworker.d.ts but not can use it.
The FileReader I can use it without having to import anything.
I need to do something different with FileReaderSync?
error TS2304: Cannot find name 'FileReaderSync'.
I had the same issue few months ago, the solution was to write custom typings.
main.bowser.d.ts
interface FileReaderSync {
readAsArrayBuffer(blob: Blob): any;
readAsBinaryString(blob: Blob): void;
readAsDataURL(blob: Blob): string;
readAsText(blob: Blob, encoding?: string): string;
}
declare var FileReaderSync: {
prototype: FileReaderSync;
new(): FileReaderSync;
};
and include them when you bootstrap angular2
// <reference path="./main.browser.d.ts" />
I wrote an article about this just now :D http://icode.co/angular2/php/2016/12/21/async-file-streaming-from-JS-to-PHP-WebWorkers.html
