Property 'wakeLock' does not exist on type 'Navigator'

Question

I need to use the Screen Wake Lock API in my angular app
here is my code

if ('wakeLock' in navigator) {
         await navigator.wakeLock.request();
        
}

However, Angular compilation fails with the following error:

Error: src/app/feature/test/test/test.component.ts:20:42 - error TS2339: Property 'wakeLock' does not exist on type 'Navigator'.

How can fix typescript to contain Screen Wake Lock API and can compile codes?

Answer 1

Finally, after two weeks I found a way that supports this by adding the DefinitelyTyped. Two-step can fix this.

1. Install the @types/dom-screen-wake-lock package

npm i @types/dom-screen-wake-lock -D

2. After installing the package you must add types to tsconfig.json like this

{
...
   "compilerOptions":{
...
         "types":[
...
              "dom-screen-wake-lock"
...
            ]
...
}
...
}
