Cannot find name error - How to import definitions file from node_modules/@types in angular?

So I have this node_modules/@types file with definitions I need. However, I can't seem to import it into my js file.

I've done npm install @types/p5 and added it to my tsconfig.json like:

"types": [
        "node",
        "p5"
     ],

but name is still not found.

My code is essentially this:

import * as p5 from 'p5';
//imports p5.js

export class Box { 

  ...

  show(p5) {
    p5.rectMode(CENTER);
  {

  ...

}

CENTER needs to be defined but it isn't.

Solution

  • CENTER is inside your p5 instance, because you've imported all from @types/p5 as p5:

    const p = new p5(...); // specify arguments for p5

show(p) {
  p.rectMode(p.CENTER); // p.CENTER returns 'center'
}
