EmailComposerPlugin.open gibes error, doesn't compile

[swissfritz]

`import { Camera, CameraResultType, CameraSource } from '@capacitor/camera'; import { EmailComposerPlugin, OpenOptions } from 'capacitor-email-composer'; ... async sendMail() { const options: OpenOptions = { to: ['fritzfrei45@gmail.com'], subject: 'Unfall', body: 'Meine Unfallfotos', attachments: [{ type: "base64", path: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,${this.imageData}', name: 'Unfallfotos' }] };

await EmailComposerPlugin.open(options?: OpenOptions);

}

`gives a TS error (2693): 'EmailComposerPlugin' refers to an object but is being used as a value here.

When I initiate them in the cinstructor ...

constructor(public plug:EmailComposerPlugin, public opts: OpenOptions)

and

await this.plug.open(this.opts);

... npm run build gives the following error:

This type does not have a value, so it cannot be used as injection token. node_modules/capacitor-email-composer/dist/esm/definitions.d.ts:1:1 1 export interface EmailComposerPlugin {

      2     /**
        ~~~~~~~``

you don't have to inject capacitor plugins in the constructor. Remove it from there. Just import and use it directly

Danke Hans, that's what I tried first and which gave me the TS-error "'EmailComposerPlugin' refers to an object but is being used as a value here." (see first part of my issue). How can I get around that?

please create a minimal reproducable repo

Danke Hans!

I wondered why OpenOptions didn't provoke a TS error, so I tried tinkering with the Plugins name and ... voilà: EmailComposer worked. So, if I import EmailComposer, OpenOptions from capacitor-email-composer and use them this way in the code, everything works fine. You may have a silent contributor who changed the plugins name to use?

[EinfachHans]

your absolutly right, the plugin is exported as EmailComposer. I will adjust the readme

[EinfachHans]

Thank you and sorry for the circumstances. Readme is adjusted 😊

Great! Thanks to you for this awesome plugin!
