TypeScript Definitions for Forge Viewer missing getFragmentProxy

I'm using typescript definitions for Forge in link below: https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/typescript-definitions-forge-viewer-and-nodejs-client-sdk-now-available

When I try to transform the model following this article: https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/know-how-complex-component-transformations-viewer-part-1-basics, I realize viewerimpl is missing method getFragmentProxy.

How can I fix this?

Solution

  • Thank you for letting us know. This issue is caused by the missing type definition for the Viewer3DImpl#getFragmentProxy in the community contributed TypeScript definition file for the Forge Viewer (i.e. @types/forge-viewer) under DefinitelyTyped repository, so the TypeScript type checker/complier cannot find the type definition. The method is still there in the Forge Viewer JavaScript libs. To fix it, here are some suggestions for you:

    • Create an PR for adding the missing type definition of the Viewer3DImpl#getFragmentProxy on DefinitelyTyped repository yourself
    • Create a dummy .d.ts file to add the missing type definition somewhere in your code project. Please refer here for How-To (Link1 & Link2)
    • Wait for updates on @types/forge-viewer from us (Not recommended, it might take some time for one line code update)
