You can do this by using the -`--no-check` flag. - -Skipping type checking might not be acceptable though. You could try to load the -Node.js types yourself. For example from UNPKG it would look something like -this: - -```ts -import type {} from "https://unpkg.com/@types/node/index.d.ts"; -``` - -Or from esm.sh: - -```ts -import type {} from "https://esm.sh/@types/node/index.d.ts"; -``` - -Or from Skypack: - -```ts -import type {} from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@types/node/index.d.ts"; -``` - -You could also try to provide only specifically what the 3rd party package is -missing. For example the package `@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb` has a dependency on -the `NodeJS.ProcessEnv` type in its type definitions. In one of the modules of -your project that imports it as a dependency, you could put something like this -in there which will solve the problem: - -```ts -declare global { - namespace NodeJS { - type ProcessEnv = Record<string, string>; - } -} -``` - -### Getting type errors like cannot find `document` or `HTMLElement` - -The library you are using has dependencies on the DOM. This is common for -packages that are designed to run in a browser as well as server-side. By -default, Deno only includes the libraries that are directly supported. Assuming -the package properly identifies what environment it is running in at runtime it -is "safe" to use the DOM libraries to type check the code. For more information -on this, check out the -[Targeting Deno and the Browser](../typescript/configuration.md#targeting-deno-and-the-browser) -section of the manual. |
