[bug]: NodeJs - Property 'replaceAll' does not exist on type 'string'.

[risalfajar]

Description

I want to use Algolia library in my Firebase Cloud Functions project, but when I'm trying to deploy a function, it throws an error:

node_modules/@algolia/client-common/src/transporter/helpers.ts:42:11 - error TS2550: Property 'replaceAll' does not exist on type 'string'. Do you need to change your target library? Try changing the 'lib' compiler option to 'es2021' or later.

So I add this to my tsconfig:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "lib": [
          "ES2021.String"
        ]
    }
}

But then the error changed:

node_modules/@algolia/client-common/src/cache/createBrowserLocalStorageCache.ts:10:41 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'window'.

Client

Could it be that you're deploying to an old node version that doesn't have replaceAll? Earliest would be 15.

I'm using Node 20

I don't understand, why is this closed?

[Haroenv]

@shortcuts has created a pull request that removes the usage of replaceAll (in algolia/api-clients-automation#3897). In the next version of the client this issue will be fixed

[shortcuts]

Hey, sorry I had an issue with the release, I'm fixing it right now and will schedule a release right

[shortcuts]

hey @risalfajar, in 5.8.0 replaceAll has been dropped in favor of replace, do you still have an issue?

[risalfajar]

I've upgraded to 5.8.0 and it works now. Thanks for the quick fix!
