getting error on require

[varun-vivek]

var JsBarcode = require('jsbarcode'); const { createCanvas } = require('canvas');

const canvas = createCanvas(0, 0);

// create a bar code with the number/text I want and populate the canvas with it..
JsBarcode(canvas, '123456');

Cannot find name 'require'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try npm i @types/node and then add node to the types field in your tsconfig.

var JsBarcode = require('jsbarcode'); ~~~~~~~ src/app/app.component.ts:21:30 - error TS2591: Cannot find name 'require'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try npm i @types/node and then add node to the types field in your tsconfig.

const { createCanvas } = require('canvas');

This looks like a problem with your environment rather than with JsBarcode. You'd need to provide more info.
