Next JS build not compiling

[brikiernan]

Hello,

I replaced react-dropzone with react-dropzone-uploader in a nextjs app and the code won't compile now.

From the error I'm getting I though maybe in my .tsconfig the skipLibCheck was not set to true but it is.

I'm not sure why typescript is checking your package?

Any ideas on this?

Thanks! Brian

Failed to compile.

./node_modules/react-dropzone-uploader/dist/Dropzone.tsx:504:44
Type error: Object is of type 'unknown'.

  502 |       params = await getUploadParams(fileWithMeta)
  503 |     } catch (e) {
> 504 |       console.error('Error Upload Params', e.stack)
      |                                            ^
  505 |     }
  506 |     if (params === null) return
  507 |     const { url, method = 'POST', body, fields = {}, headers = {}, meta: extraMeta = {} } = params

This issue #179 (comment) had the solution for me.

I had to set the "useUnknownInCatchVariables": true in my .tsconfig

not a fan of the solution above because it may swallow other important errors in your project. see #108 (comment)

i want to fix this myself but to be honest im not one hundred percent sure what's going on in their packaging scripts
