Setting up TypeScript for Firefox (so it knows about types like browser.storage)-CodePudding

According to Mozilla docs I should be able to use browser.storage.sync.get for my extension, but I'm having some difficulty making typescript understand that I can use browser.

I have tried this (which works for using chrome)

package

    "@types/chrome": "^0.0.209",
    "@types/firefox": "^0.0.31",

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "module": "CommonJS",
    "strict": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "types": ["chrome", "firefox"]
  },
  "include": ["src", "scripts", "bundle.ts"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "dist", "scripts"]
}

What am I missing?

CodePudding user response：

The global browser variable is part of the webextension environment, typescript bindings are provided in @types/firefox-webext-browser:

npm i -D @types/firefox-webext-browser
