Property 'auth' does not exist on type 'Dropbox'

[nevermindx]

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()
