Tsparticles: TypeScript error when importing into a React Project

[alansiq]

Has anyone experienced this before? I'm running Typescript 3.9 and getting "import type" errors

C:/Users/asiqueira/dev/Portfolio React/Projeto/web/node_modules/react-tsparticles/index.d.ts
TypeScript error in C:/Users/asiqueira/dev/Portfolio React/Projeto/web/node_modules/react-tsparticles/index.d.ts(9,13):

Hi @alansiq, it's a strange issue but happened me one time that tsc was using the wrong version.

If you try tsc -v does it give you the right version?

[alansiq]

Version 3.9.5

I'll try to install in another project just to make sure.

[matteobruni]

I've created a CodeSandbox with TS 3.9.5 and React so you can check your code too

Which version are you using btw?

[alansiq]

Matteo, thank you for your quick and helpful responses! It must've been a hookie mistake on my side. I'm not sure what fixed it, but it's now fixed.

If I find out what I was doing wrong I'll let you know for future evidence, but right now I don't know what I did.

I have the same issue, on latest create-react-app (--template typescript, not typescript-particles).

Particles load and look to be working for a second before the error crashes the app. Any ideas?

I am seeing this issue too, upgrading typescript to 3.9.5 fixed it for me

I'm seeing this same error. I'm using tsc version 3.5.1 and latest react-tsparticles installed through yarn. Looks like it works in the sandbox so I'm confused why it's happening, any ideas?

Hi @atesija,

You need to update your TypeScript package to latest version
