where does `document` come from

the default ultra gives me a client.tsx like this

import hydrate from "ultra/hydrate.js";
import App from "./src/app.tsx";
hydrate(document, <App />);

import hydrate from "ultra/hydrate.js";
import App from "./src/app.tsx";
hydrate(document, <App />);

when I run deno check it complains about document how / where it getting document from?

i presume I need a compiler option for the checker?

maybe: lib: ['dom'] ?

From my understanding document doesn't exist in the Deno environment, only the web environment. the lib: ['dom'] allows you to use the types in Deno for TypeScript. You can make your own document by importing a DOMParser module to create a blank document and assigning it globally.

globalThis.document = new DOMParser().parseFromString('<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body></body></html>', 'html/text')

globalThis.document = new DOMParser().parseFromString('<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body></body></html>', 'html/text')

Well you shouldn't make your own document for the web browser, but if you want those createElement stuff for deno side then that is an option.

the lib: ['dom'] doesn't fix it for me. i will try the /// <reference lib="dom" /> and report back

The lib: ['dom'] only adds the typings so it can be transpiled to javascript.

the /// <reference lib="dom" /> makes deno lint happy but not deno check
