Cannot find name Auth0Lock

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I followed the very helpful tutorial on Ionic 2 and Auth0 here: http://blog.ionic.io/ionic-2-and-auth0/

However, I am getting an error: Cannot find Auth0Lock in auth.ts

I do have the “declare var Auth0Lock: any;” that should prevent this, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Same here… I contacted AuthO about it and received following response:

Hi Matt,

We are working on fixing this issue.

In the mean time I can provide you a work around to get the seed project.

Link to the repo,

You would have to configure your credentials (Client-secret and client-id) in app/services/auth/auth.ts

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Cheers,

Double-check if you added the Auth0 script in index.html.

Otherwise you can try to install the Auth0 definitions:

typings install auth0.lock --ambient --save

NOTE: If you don’t have typings installed then you have to install it first:

npm install typings -g

Thanks for the thoughts. Yes, I did add the script to index.html

And also tried the repo mentioned above, but didn’t work correctly.

It appears that Ionic 2 is still in flux, so the auth0 has to respond to a lot of the changes. Hopefully a fix comes out soon

Has anybody found a workaround for this already?

Try these two lines below the import statements in the auth.service.ts file.

declare var Auth0: any;
declare var Auth0Lock: any;
