Here the code:

let env = braintree.Environment.Sandbox;

if (Meteor.settings.environment === 'production') {  
  env = braintree.Environment.Production;
}

const gateway = braintree.connect({  
  environment: env,
  merchantId: Meteor.settings.braintree.merchantId,
  publicKey: Meteor.settings.braintree.publicKey,
  privateKey: Meteor.settings.braintree.privateKey,
});

I already installed:
npm install braintree-web
npm install braintree

Whats wrong?

you will need either:

import braintree from 'braintree';

or:

const braintree = require('braintree');

at the top of your file

Yes, i imported like that:

import braintree from 'braintree';

and

import { braintree } from 'braintree';

There is the same error for both “Cannot read property environement”

And for:

const braintree = require('braintree');

I have this:

Did you start meteor with a settings.json file?

meteor run --settings settings.json

Oh sorry, i created a wrong settings.json
I run with

npm start

And you make me realize that they are 2 settings.json, 1 for development and 1 for production. :sweat_smile:

The server run now with no error, except this:

server/methods.ts (332, 21): Property 'clientId' does not exist on type '{}'.

Thank you very much for your time.

Why import braintree from 'braintree'; doesnt work, and why const braintree = require('braintree'); works for me?

That I don’t know! They are meant to work the same!

Also i have an error message when i run the server:

Property 'clientId' does not exist on type '{}'.

With the getClientToken function:

getClientToken: (clientId) => {
        const generateToken = Meteor.wrapAsync(gateway.clientToken.generate, gateway.clientToken);
        const options = {};

        if (clientId) {
            options.clientId = clientId;
        }

        const response = generateToken(options);
        return response.clientToken;
    }

Are you using Typescript?

AFAIK the easiest way around that is then by saying the options object can hold any type:

const options = <any>{};
