Property 'flatMap' does not exist on type 'string[]'. NOT AN ES2019 PROBLEM


I have this example set up on StackBlitz. It won't compile because there is a line that uses flatMap. The error says:

Property 'flatMap' does not exist on type 'string[]'. Do you need to change your target library? Try changing the 'lib' compiler option to 'es2019' or later.

So, I tried changing the lib to 'es2019', as suggested in flatMap, flat, flatten doesn't exist on type any[], but it did not solve my problem.

Looking at some other related questions, I also tried 'esnext'. It also did not work.

Here's my tsconfig file:

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "downlevelIteration": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "module": "es6",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "importHelpers": true,
    "target": "es5",
    "typeRoots": ["node_modules/@types"],
    "lib": ["es2019"]
  },
  "angularCompilerOptions": {
    "enableIvy": true,
    "fullTemplateTypeCheck": true,
    "strictInjectionParameters": true
  }
}

My package.json file:

{
  "name": "angular",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^12.2.5",
    "@angular/common": "^12.2.5",

    "ts-node": "~8.3.0",
    "tslint": "~6.1.0",
    "typescript": "~4.0.2"
  }
}

And here is the part of the code that calls flatMap:

import { Component, VERSION } from '@angular/core';
import { get } from 'lodash';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
})
export class AppComponent {
  name = 'Angular ' + VERSION.major;
  constructor(private d3Service: D3Service) {}
  ngOnInit() {
    const testData = [
      { name: 'Mount', count: 4, successes: 4 },
      { name: 'Sit up sweep; Reversal', count: 4, successes: 4 },
      { name: 'Turtle; Quarters', count: 3, successes: 3 },
      { name: 'No known name for this guard pass', count: 3, successes: 3 },
      { name: 'Back Step', count: 2, successes: 2 },
      { name: 'Leg lasso', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Lasso Sweep', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Americana; Keylock; Paintbrush', count: 1, successes: 0 },
      { name: 'Ezekiel', count: 1, successes: 0 },
      { name: 'Leg Drag', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Wrist Lock', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Arm Bar or Straight Arm Lock', count: 1, successes: 0 },
      { name: 'Back Control', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Arm Triangle', count: 1, successes: 0 },
      { name: 'Bow and Arrow', count: 1, successes: 0 },
      { name: 'Knee Slice', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'De La Riva Guard', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'North South', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Paper Cutter', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Half-Guard', count: 1, successes: 1 },
      { name: 'Elbow-knee Escape', count: 1, successes: 1 },
    ];
    testData['columns'] = ['name', 'count', 'successes'];
    const countCategoryArr: Array<string> = get(testData, 'columns', []).slice(
      1
    );
    const moveCounts = countCategoryArr.flatMap((entry) =>
      hist.map((d) => ({
        move: d.name,
        countCategory: entry,
        count: d[entry],
      }))
    );

  }
}

This is the error that I'm seeing within stackBlitz: error on the right, es2019 inclusion in the main frame


Solution

  • I'm not sure the exact cause, but disabling Ivy fixes it:

    "angularCompilerOptions": {
        "enableIvy": false,
        ...
      }
    

    https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-hvpfty?file=tsconfig.json

    I can't reproduce it locally, so seems to be a bug in the ivy compiler on stackblitz specifically.
