Typescript configuration to use worker_threads

Im trying to use WebWorkers in Typescript and I have encoutered a problem. I have installed @types/node and updated everything. 'worker_threads' is not longer experimental and is in stable version of node.js.

This is my typescript config:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "module": "esnext",
    "strict": true,
    "jsx": "preserve",
    "importHelpers": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "types": [
      "webpack-env",
      "node",
      "dom-mediacapture-record"
    ],
    "paths": {
      "@/*": [
        "src/*"
      ]
    },
    "lib": [
      "esnext",
      "dom",
      "dom.iterable",
      "scripthost"
    ]
  },
  "include": [
    "src/**/*.ts",
    "src/**/*.tsx",
    "src/**/*.vue",
    "tests/**/*.ts",
    "tests/**/*.tsx"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ]
}

When Im trying to do import in my typescript file like this:

import { Worker } from 'worker_threads';

Im getting error:


This dependency was not found:

* worker_threads in ./src/SpeechRecognizer/SpeechRecognizer.ts

To install it, you can run: npm install --save worker_threads
Type checking and linting in progress...
No type errors found
No lint errors found
Version: typescript 3.6.3, tslint 5.20.0

Also Im using Vue.js for frontend. I have already tried everything I could find so Im glad for every help. If this wont work I will propably switch to JavaScript. Thanks.

You can use the npm package 'worker-loader'. Goto the below link https://www.npmjs.com/package/worker-loader and refer the section 'Integrating with TypeScript'
