Property 'document' does not exist on type 'Window & typeof globalThis'.

actually i know this is normal because its a backend not a frontend, but i'm using linkedom (parse html into DOM) so when i use it, this error occurs, when i run the code it works 100%, but this error from the vscode extension after enabling deno the code:

import { parseHTML } from "linkedom";

const { document } = parseHTML(Deno.readTextFileSync("./MY_FILE.html"));
console.log(document.documentElement.textContent); // works with deno run

import { parseHTML } from "linkedom";

const { document } = parseHTML(Deno.readTextFileSync("./MY_FILE.html"));
console.log(document.documentElement.textContent); // works with deno run

fixed: in deno.json i add to the 'lib' array in 'compilerOptions' : "dom"

"compilerOptions": {
    "lib": [
      "deno.window",
      "dom"
    ]
  }

"compilerOptions": {
    "lib": [
      "deno.window",
      "dom"
    ]
  }

You should switch deno.window out with deno.ns if you have dom
