TypeScript definition errors

[OrangeDog]

There seems to be no public issue tracker for the library itself, so I'm putting this here for now.

There are several errors in the index.d.ts in @here/[email protected]. These require the use of // @ts-ignore to skip type checking in order to use the API.

Those that I have noticed:

• H.geo.Point.validate has this : H.geo.Point as the first argument, which should not be present in a static method
• Multiple classes have data as a required member when (according to the documentation) it should be optional.
  • H.map.AbstractMarker.Options
  • H.map.Circle.Options
  • H.map.DomMarker.Options
  • H.map.Group.Options
  • H.map.Marker.Options
  • H.map.Object.Options
  • H.map.Overlay.Options
  • H.map.Polygon.Options
  • H.map.Polyline.Options
  • H.map.Rect.Options
  • H.map.Spatial.Options
  • H.map.provider.Tile
  • H.ui.base.Button.Options

All errors still there in 1.36.0

1.38.0 has added a new problem. The return type of H.service.Platform.createDefaultLayers() has changed from H.service.DefaultLayers to GlobalObject. The former type appears to have been removed entirely.

This will cause a compilation failure for almost everyone.

Error: src/app/here-map.component.ts:56:23 - error TS2339: Property 'vector' does not exist on type 'Object'.

56         defaultLayers.vector.normal.map,
                         ~~~~~~

As a workaround, users must now cast it to any:

const platform = new H.service.Platform(environment.herePlatform);
const defaultLayers = platform.createDefaultLayers() as any;
