Same error here

[xmlking]

with typescript 3.1.2 and angular 7.0.0, error:

ERROR in node_modules/api-ai-javascript/declarations.d.ts(39,5): error TS2687: All declarations of 'stream' must have identical modifiers.

Hi,

I had a similar issue with angular v7.0.0.rc.1 and current api-ai-javascript@2.0.0-beta.21.

I've found out its due to conflicting type definitions for MediaStreamAudioDestinationNode#stream, between the custom version in (api-ai-javascript/declarations.d.ts) and the standard in lib.dom.d.ts (from dom types in your tsconfig.json)

One workaround is to avoid importing the library via its index.ts (which has /// <reference path="declarations.d.ts"/>), but instead use the es6 version directly by bypassing the resolution of the "api-ai-javascript" module.

So in your code:

import { ApiAiClient } from 'api-ai-javascript/es6/ApiAiClient'

in your tsconfig.json (only relevant parts):

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "typeRoots": ["node_modules/@types"],
    "lib": ["es2017", "dom"],
    "paths": {
      "api-ai-javascript/*": ["node_modules/api-ai-javascript/es6/*"] //bypass the index.ts
    }
  }
}

The proper solution i think, would be the project's tsconfig.json to add dom type directly and remove declarations of types already in lib.dom.d.ts.

I can test that and submit a PR if you agree with this solution, @dialogflow

[abhinavbhandari]

@xmlking Hey I have the same error, did you figure out a solution?

[tinesoft]

@abhinavbhandari did you try out my solution?

[xmlking]

I patched it using "@xmlking/api-ai-javascript": "^2.0.0-beta.22", until this lib is fixed. Working sample at https://github.com/xmlking/ngx-starter-kit

[ravikumarbggit]

Hi, This package(api-ai-javascript) seems to be legacy V1 SDK. Anyone point me to documentaion on using V2 Library please? I couldn't find Javascript platform in https://dialogflow.com/docs/sdks I tried to follow steps mentioned in Nodejs section in my Angular 6 client but it didn't work

[ravikumarbggit]

btw, @tinesoft workaround worked for me. Thanks!

[abhinavbhandari]

@tinesoft Hey yes I did, it didn't work but I will revisit it later and possibly ask a question later!

I am facing the same issue still its raising the same issue.I tried it.

All declarations of 'stream' must have identical modifiers api-ai-javascript - Dialogflow

[mayurijethwa31]

I declared stream as readonly in declarations.d.ts which worked for me.

[PoojaChoudhury]

i used import { ApiAiClient } from 'api-ai-javascript/es6/ApiAiClient' instead of import { ApiAiClient} from 'api-ai-javascript'; and it worked ..
