Typescript error:Object.fromEntries typescript Error

Question

I have a function in typescript which uses Object.fromEntries to reduce a complex response object and group it using substring of the child object key.

let Newresult = res.map(object => Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(object).map(([key, value]) => [
key,
value.map(valueobject => Object.entries(valueobject).reduce((res1, [name, value]) => {
    const key = name.slice(0, 5);
    res1[key] = res1[key] || {};
    res[key][name] = value;
    return res1;
}, {}))
])));

but the problem is typescript throws below error while compiling.

error TS2339: Property 'fromEntries' does not exist on type 'ObjectConstructor'.
error TS2339: Property 'map' does not exist on type '{}'.

I tried adding ESNext,ES2017.Object into my tsconfig.json lib-array but still its throwing compilation error. but the same updates for my lib-array is allowing me to use Object.entries.

I am using angular -v-6, typescript:~3.1.1

which other method can help me achieve the same result as above. can somebody direct me in right direction?

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

• TypeScript version is 3.9

Open tsconfig.json

Add

"target": "esnext",
"lib": ["esnext", "dom"]

Answer 2

Object.fromEntries was ES2019, so your lib option needs to include that (or ES2020). (ESNext is a moving target.)

That said, TypeScript v3.1.1 is fairly old. You may need to upgrade.
