unable to import DOMHelper from glsp/client

[rileydanejohnston]

Hello,
I’m trying to create a UI extension similar to editLabelUI, which uses a class called DOMHelper that I am unable to import from @eclipse-glsp/client. I wanted to see if this class is intentionally not exported, or of there was a way around this. Thank you!

Hi,
the @eclipse-glsp/client only reexports the main index file of sprotty. This main index file does not necessarily export all symbols/classes/types. Apparently the DOMHelper class is not included. I don't know the reasoning behind this (could be intentionally or a mere oversight). As a workaround you can import the DOMHelper class using the complete path:

import { DOMHelper } from 'sprotty/lib/base/views/dom-helper';

This is worked for me. Thank you @tortmayr!
