Property 'auth' does not exist on type 'Dropbox'
auth
export class DropboxService {
private dbx: Dropbox
constructor() {
this.dbx = new Dropbox({
fetch,
clientId: dropboxConfig.clientId,
clientSecret: dropboxConfig.clientSecret,
})
}
generateAuthUrl() {
const authUrl = this.dbx.auth.getAuthenticationUrl(
dropboxConfig.redirectUri,
undefined,
'code',
)
return authUrl
} shows error auth doest not exist on Dropbox
Ha..🤣 You just found an imperfection out. 🤫
The 'auth' field is there, but for whatever reason is not declared in type script. 🤷 That's why your interpreter complains.
You can workaround as re-declare Dropbox and include the "missing" field or construct DropboxAuth object on your own, save a reference, and pass it on construction of Dropbox object - this.auth = new DropboxAuth({fetch, ...}); this.dbx = new Dropbox({auth}) (so instead of this.dbx.auth... you may use just this.auth...).
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the report! I'll ask the team to add this to the types.
got the solution actually i had to do
import { DropboxAuth } from 'dropbox' instead of import { Dropbox } from 'dropbox'then i was able to to do dbxAuth.getAuthenticationUrl()
