Could not find a declaration file for module '@google-cloud/vision'

[honghu215]

Hi,

Thanks for sharing.

there's an error with the following command

import * as admin from '@google-cloud/vision';

Could not find a declaration file for module '@google-cloud/vision'. '/Users/honghu/Projects/ionic/demos/GoogleFunctions/functions/node_modules/@google-cloud/vision/src/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
Try npm install @types/google-cloud__vision if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing declare module '@google-cloud/vision';

I have dependency @google-cloud/vison: "^0.24.0" in package.json

How should I solve this issue, thanks?

How did you solve it?

A quick hacky fix was to reimplement the function in javascript.

@rzvAmmar can you share your fix, please.

@rzvAmmar can you share your fix, please.

const admin = require('firebase-admin');
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const vision = require('@google-cloud/vision')

admin.initializeApp()

exports.fileUploaded = functions.storage.object().onFinalize(async (object) => {
const fileBucket = object.bucket; // The Storage bucket that contains the file.
const filePath = object.name; // File path in the bucket.
const contentType = object.contentType; // File content type.
const metageneration = object.metageneration; // Number of times metadata has been generated. New objects have a value of 1.index.js

const client = new vision.ImageAnnotatorClient();
const fileName = "gs://" + fileBucket + "/" + filePath;
console.log("File URI: ", fileName);

// Performs text detection on the local file
client.textDetection(fileName)
.then(results => {
    var text = results[0].fullTextAnnotation.text;
    name = filePath.split("/")[1]
    admin.database().ref("files/" + name + "/text").set(text);
})
.catch(err => {
    console.error('ERROR:', err);
});

});
