Property 'new' is a static member of type 'Cloudinary'

[davidhan527]

Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm very new to typescript and I'm having trouble with getting Cloudinary to work with typescript.

Here are the relevant parts of the file.

import "cloudinary-video-player/dist/cld-video-player.min.css";
import cloudinary from "cloudinary-core";
import "cloudinary-video-player/dist/cld-video-player.min.js";

const VideoPlayer = props => {
  const cld = cloudinary.Cloudinary.new({ cloud_name: "dombgxi4e" });
}

and I get this error

TS2576: Property 'new' is a static member of type 'Cloudinary'
Failed to compile.

Any ideas how to fix this error?

Hi @davidhan527, Currently we don’t support typescript with our video player. You can embed the video player in a javascript project.

@michalkcloudinay this seems to be a problem with the typing of import cloudinary from "cloudinary-core" and nothing with the video player, I do not understand why this issue has been closed?

So it's unclear how the core should be used in ts, or the typing is broken?

in the typescript file it gives and example

/**
 * Main Cloudinary class
 * @class Cloudinary
 * @param {Object} options - options to configure Cloudinary
 * @see Configuration for more details
 * @example
 *    var cl = new cloudinary.Cloudinary( { cloud_name: "mycloud"});
 *    var imgTag = cl.image("myPicID");
 */

but even that does not work correctly

all of this might be linked to this issue #189

Hi @PaulPCIO does this solve it for you?

import {Cloudinary} from 'cloudinary-core';
const cld = new Cloudinary({cloud_name: "demo"});
