Cannot find name 'Buffer' on Quagga2 type-definitions

[MasterDataBase]

Hi all

I'm start using Quagga, and facing some problem after install Quagga on my Angular project.

And after the tring to import the library import Quagga from '@ericblade/quagga2';

I'm facing the following problem: Error: node_modules/@ericblade/quagga2/type-definitions/quagga.d.ts:784:33 - error TS2591: Cannot find name 'Buffer'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Trynpm i --save-dev @types/nodeand then add 'node' to the types field in your tsconfig.

I tried to install the @types/node and also insert the Type:node in the tsconfig file, but without luck, someone can point me to the right direction?

Thank you for filing an issue! Please be patient. :-)

It seems to work now, the fix in my case was to:

• Install the types/node npm i --save-dev @types/node
• Add in the tsconfig.app.json the value "types": ["node"] in the compilerOptions object

Not sure if this is a good workaround to add "types": ["node"] to the tsconfig.app.json If you are targeting browser app we need something better than allowing 'node'

Thanks for bringing this back up. Decent tools are available now to probably replace the use of Buffer type in here. https://github.com/ericblade/quagga2/issues/538
