Face-api.js: Is this package available for Angular?

[mustafa-qamaruddin]

I'm trying to include this package in Angular 7 via npm i face-api.js, but I'm always getting:

error TS2304: Cannot find name 'faceapi'.

Any hints or quick steps to include it correctly in Angular?

[mustafa-qamaruddin]

import * as faceapi from 'face-api.js';

seems to solve the issue

I am getting these warnings:

client:154 ./node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-core/dist/tf-core.esm.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'crypto' in '/home/qamaruddin/eclipse-workspace/imgproc-frontend-angular/node_modules/@tensorflow/tfjs-core/dist' warnings @ client:154 onmessage @ socket.js:41 EventTarget.dispatchEvent @ sockjs.js:170 (anonymous) @ sockjs.js:887 SockJS._transportMessage @ sockjs.js:885 EventEmitter.emit @ sockjs.js:86 WebSocketTransport.ws.onmessage @ sockjs.js:2961 wrapFn @ zone.js:1188 push../node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js.ZoneDelegate.invokeTask @ zone.js:421 push../node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js.Zone.runTask @ zone.js:188 push../node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js.ZoneTask.invokeTask @ zone.js:496 invokeTask @ zone.js:1540 globalZoneAwareCallback @ zone.js:1566 client:154 ./node_modules/tfjs-image-recognition-base/build/es6/env/initialize.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in '/home/qamaruddin/eclipse-workspace/imgproc-frontend-angular/node_modules/tfjs-image-recognition-base/build/es6/env'

The camera opens but no face tracking overlay :(

Including the js doesn't seem to resolve it either:

It seems there are plenty of complaints which I have no clue how to solve:

What typescript version are you using, maybe there is a mismatch between the tfjs-core version you installed and the version of face-api.js (should be 0.13.8)?

I am seeing this same problem with the latest clean build of an angular 7 application.

Boa noite pessoal.

Alguém saber o que é isso ? Estou tentando criar a pasta dist com o comando ng build --prod

ERROR in src/app/components/camera/face-detection.1.ts(1,26): error TS2307: Cannot find module './js/face-api'.

Obrigada por ter respondido a minha outra pergunta pessoal, ajudou bastante ! grata !!!!

[jeffreytgilbert]

The typescript version that google use to build typescript ends in .2222 i think, or something along those lines. If you try that version and it works, let us know on the ticket so it can be closed out :)

[janainafortunato]

Thank you, my doubt has been resolved. The project I was studying was without the dist folder and the main.js file was missing, it was an upgrade in the gitignore file. But thank you so much for having responded. Thankful !

@justadudewhohacks this can be closed.
