Luxon missing fixedOffSetZone.ts file after installing its type

If you are using TypeScript and have recently installed the type definitions for Luxon, you may have encountered an issue where the fixedOffSetZone.ts file is missing. This can be frustrating, but don’t worry, there are a couple of solutions to this problem.

Solution 1: Use a Different Version of Luxon

One possible solution is to try using a different version of Luxon. It’s possible that the version you installed does not include the fixedOffSetZone.ts file. You can try installing an older or newer version of Luxon to see if it resolves the issue.

Here’s an example of how you can install a specific version of Luxon using npm:

npm install luxon@1.26.0

Make sure to replace 1.26.0 with the version you want to install.

Solution 2: Manually Add the Missing File

If using a different version of Luxon doesn’t solve the problem, you can manually add the missing fixedOffSetZone.ts file to your project. Here’s how:

1. Create a new file named fixedOffSetZone.ts in your project directory.
2. Copy the contents of the fixedOffSetZone.d.ts file from the Luxon GitHub repository (https://github.com/moment/luxon/blob/master/src/zone/fixedOffsetZone.d.ts).
3. Paste the copied contents into the fixedOffSetZone.ts file you created.

Once you have added the file to your project, you should be able to import and use the fixedOffSetZone module without any issues.

Conclusion

Encountering a missing fixedOffSetZone.ts file after installing the type definitions for Luxon can be frustrating, but thankfully there are solutions available. You can try using a different version of Luxon or manually add the missing file to your project. Hopefully, one of these solutions will resolve the issue for you.

Happy coding!
