Hi I have

Version 4.9.5 of typescript


In my figma plugin, I did

npm install -g typescript

npm install --save-dev @figma/plugin-typings


And my plugin worked fine.


As in this link

figma.com

I need to add TextDecoder for SVG export. It says, for TextDecoder, I need to add DOM to tsconfig.json.


I added it.


After that, index.js complains…


const console: Console

Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable ‘console’.ts(2451)


Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable ‘fetch’.ts(2451)


View Problem (Alt+F8)

const fetch: (url: string, init?: FetchOptions) => Promise


How to fix this?

I’ve got the same problem - exporting svg and getting the error "Cannot find name ‘TextDecoder’, and then adding ‘dom’ to ‘lib’ in tsconfig and then getting two conflict errors in @figma plugin-typings: console and fetch.

Have you tried searching it on Google?

stackoverflow.com

I have - and it brought me here!


However, I had a look at this solution - the latest from 2022 is to include

"moduleDetection": "force"

in tsconfig.json compilerOptions.


Unfortunately this still doesn’t work as I now have:


figma_app.min.js.br:5 Syntax error on line 34: Unexpected token export {};


It seems that the earlier workaround to add “export {}” manually has been replaced with a flag that adds it for you. Either way manually or otherwise, it still doesn’t work.
