How to get windows username in angular 8

I want to get my Windows username in my angular 8 application's typeScript, is this possible? I found something like this:

let user = new ActiveXObject("WSCRIPT.Network");
console.log(user.UserName.toLowerCase());

When I tried the code, I got 'error TS2340: Can not find the name ActiveXObject'

Is there a way of getting Windows or System username in angular application, if yes, how can one go about the coding?

Try opening the tsconfig.json file and adding the "scripthost" as an element of the "lib" section:

"lib": [
   "es2018",
   ...
   "scripthost"
]

That should make sure the correct library for ActiveXObject is loaded. I found a couple of references to this a possible fix online. Here is one article
