Yes import xliff from 'xliff' import xliff2js from 'xliff/xliff2js'

I can't do anyone of these, can anyone help me on this? is this still working? Appreciate your help Issues should only be posted in this repository after you have been able to reproduce them and confirm that they are a bug or incorrect/missing information in the docs.

Please provide more information... don't know what you're trying to do

@adrai Thanks for the quick response. I installed npm xliff version 5.5.2. When I tried to import xliff from 'xliff' or import xliff2js from 'xliff/xliff2js' I get "Could not find a declaration file for module 'xliff'" error on my typescript file. I'm not sure if xliff2js is exports to use?

[adrai]

Sorry, not a TypeScript user... can you provide a reproducible example?

import xliff from 'xliff'
xliff.xliff2js(xml, (err, res) => {})

@adrai I was trying to use this example approach https://developapa.com/angular-localize/

[adrai]

You probably need to tweak your tsconfig or something like that, because xliff has no types at all.

In case someone else stumbles across this issue, here's an xliff.d.ts file I've used in a TypeScript project that depends on xliff. It'd be great if a more complete type declaration were available as part of the library or on DefinitelyTyped, but adding this file was all my app needed.

declare module 'xliff' {
    export type XliffTranslationString = string;

    export interface XliffTranslationObject {
        readonly 'Standalone': {
            readonly 'id': string,
            readonly 'equiv-text': string
        };
    }

    export type XliffTranslationArray = readonly (XliffTranslationString | XliffTranslationObject)[];

    export interface XliffFile {
        readonly sourceLanguage: string;
        readonly targetLanguage: string;
        readonly resources: {
            readonly 'ng2.template': {
                readonly [translationId: string]: {
                    readonly source: XliffTranslationString | XliffTranslationObject | XliffTranslationArray,
                    readonly target: XliffTranslationString | XliffTranslationObject | XliffTranslationArray
                }
            }
        };
    }

    function xliff12ToJs(contents: string): Promise<XliffFile>;
}

I believe this should be re-opened.

Typescript is now a commonly used tool for javascript projects, the current solution in this issue is to effectively turn off an important feature that makes projects safer (no undefined types), if possible please may this project provide proper typescript support.
