Error Build:Cannot find name 'Map'. Do you need to change your target library? Try changing the `lib` compiler option to es2015 or later.  Scripts\ej2\ej2.d.ts 71584

Hi Emil, 

We have analyzed the reported issue and it is general problem occurs when create a new project manually using like Visual studio tool. Hence, we need to add the TypeScript Libraries tag in your ‘csproj’ file to overcome this issue.  

Please refer the below code snippet,  

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">
   <TypeScriptRemoveComments>False</TypeScriptRemoveComments>
   <TypeScriptLib>dom,es2015</TypeScriptLib>
    <TypeScriptOutFile />     

</PropertyGroup> 

In our Syncfusion sample creator, we will include this solution by default while creating the demo samples. For that, we have created improvement task and you can also track the status of following task through our feedback portal,  

https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/3992/include-typescript-libraries-in-sample-creator-templates   

This support will be available in our upcoming volume 4, 2018 service pack 1 release which is expected to be roll out in the first week of February 2019. Also, we will publish the knowledge base documentation on January 21, 2019. 

Please let us know, if you need any other assistance.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this a sufficient solution but it worked for us, so I'm adding it here for anyone else that ends up having the same problem.

Under the folder that contains the ej2.d.ts (Scripts/ej2) add the following file:

tsconfig.json

Contents of this file:

{

  "compilerOptions": {

    "target": "ES2015",

    "module": "commonjs",

    "sourceMap": true

  }

}

Hi Malcolm, 

Thanks for your suggestion. 

As discussed earlier, the main cause of this problem occurs due to not including the required target library for the TypeScript compiler option. We can overcome this problem by using any of the following solutions.  

#1 using tsconfig.json, by adding required lib to ‘target’ from compilerOptions. 

{ 

  "compilerOptions": { 

    //... 

    "target": "ES2015" 

  }, 

  //... 

} 

 

 

#2 Using MS build 

As we suggested in our last update, we can resolve this by adding the required library to the TypeScript Libraries tag in your ‘csproj’ file. Please refer to the below link.

Note: 

If ‘tsconfig.json’ exists in your project, then it will use the compiler setting from this configuration file. Otherwise, it will use the specified compiler setting from the project file (.csproj) fiile. 

 

Please feel free to get back to us if you have any queries.

I noticed that visual studio these days warns that you are including a package that is dependent on Typescript and suggests to add the `Microsoft.TypeScript.MSBuild` package. However that does not solve the issue.

The above suggested actions do solve this though.

Hi Mark,

 

Yes as we suggested, you can resolve the issue by adding the required target library either using MS build or using tsconfig.json. Please refer to the below UG link.
