Cannot find namespace/name chrome

问题

I'm trying out the Angular to develop google extension, but found that I can't reference the chrome object without generating the

ERROR in E:/ChromeExtensions/.../node_modules/chrome-promise/chrome-promise.d.ts (2160,66): Cannot find namespace 'chrome'.

ERROR in E:/ChromeExtensions/.../src/app/chrome-tabs.servi ce.ts (14,7): Cannot find name 'chrome'.

I have added chrome typings npm install --save @types/chrome but all it gave me was, just typings, but it doesnt resolves build errors.

If that matters:

回答1:

Based on How to use chrome-app.d.ts type in angular-cli 1.0.1 app?

I added @types/chrome to package.json
I added /// <reference types="chrome"/> to the top of my ts file

回答2:

Update for 2019:

There's no need to use /// <reference types="chrome"/> anymore. npm i @types/chrome should be enough.

This sometimes happens when you clone a repo that already has a @types library installed. npm i doesn't get it done, but if you install the @types library again, it should work.

回答3:

It would nice to have a code snippet for context.

However, when I ran into this, it was because I was passing chrome into my function as an argument. It's silly to do that, however, since chrome is a global variable, and thus accessible from any file. Not only that, but since JavaScript objects are pass-by-reference, there's no need to pass around globals (you're editing the same object regardless).

TL;DR: Add types/chrome to package.json, and just access globals (i.e., chrome or window) from the file you're working in rather than passing it as an argument.

Passing chrome as argument (bad / unnecessary):

export function getItem(key: string, chromeStore: chrome): string {
  chromeStore.storage.local.get(key, (items: any) => {
    ...
  });
}

Using chrome as global (good):

export function getItem(key: string): string {
  chrome.storage.local.get(key, (items: any) => {
    ...
  });
}
