responseEncoding is missing from typescript definitions

[stropitek]

Summary

• axios version: v0.18.0
• Environment: node v11.1.0

Still an issue with v 0.19.0

Any workaround?

It's been over 2 years and I am bit suprise to see no maintainer added a single line to the interface.

Related to PR #2619 .

Please look at #2619, it this does not resolve the issue please open a new issue.

[JavierPAYTEF]

This is still not resolved yet. The PR pointed in the last comment was closed without resolution also.

In case anyone else finds this issue, a workaround to at least be able to compile, is to create a .d.ts in your source and add the following code:

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars
import AxiosRequestConfig from "axios";

declare module "axios" {
  export interface AxiosRequestConfig {
    responseEncoding?: string;
  }
}

Of course this is not the best "typing" but at least it works until the issue with the types is resolved.
