fullpage_api doesn't exist on window

[devAdrish]

Description

I am using Next.js and typescript. When I try to access fullpage_api, it gives me following error:
'Property 'fullpage_api' does not exist on type 'Window & typeof globalThis'

Although it works when running locally, build fails.

Versions

Fullpage Version 0.1.36

Where are you trying to execute it?

If you are inside the render function of the fullpage component you can use fullpageApi instead.

Can you try adding this on /types/index.d.ts on the react-fullpage component folder and let me know if it fixes it for you?

declare global {
    interface Window {
        fullpage_api:any;
    }
}

Did try this, fullpage-api becomes undefined.
And yes, works inside the render function, but should be available outside of it.
Can you not export this api from the package so one can import it and use it.
Y'know something like import { fullpage-api } from '@fullpage/react-fullpage.

It's with underscore: fullpage_api

Can you not export this api from the package so one can import it and use it.

I'll be happy to merge a pull request if you think that's an option.

Note however that the variable window.fullpage_api is created dynamically once fullpage.js gets initialized, so it just doesn't exist before this step.

@cmswalker what are your thoughts on this?
