error TS2304: Cannot find name 'RequestInit'.

[samuela]

It seems that this library requires adding dom to the tsconfig.json compilerOptions.lib list, which doesn't make sense when running on node. Fine, perhaps this library is only intending for frontend applications... but this library is also a dependency of prisma-client-lib which is necessary for server-side prisma applications. I'm kinda stumped as to how we're supposed to write prisma graphql servers in TypeScript with this setup...

Here's the compile output in an end-user project that depends on prisma-client-lib:

I was also having this problem and adding "dom" to "lib" in tsconfig fixed it!

[samuela]

@csvenke That's definitely a solution client-side, but I'm trying to use this on node so I'd like to avoid adding a dependency on "dom".

[NateScarlet]

Temporary fix and not add "dom" to tsconfig:

http-link-dataloader.d.ts

declare type RequestInit = any

Any update on this?
