File '/web-app/node_modules/canvas-datagrid/dist/types.d.ts' is not a module.

[ug1989]

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

typescript project can read types correctly

Steps to reproduce the problem.

In any ts project, yarn add canvas-datagrid && import canvasDatagrid from 'canvas-datagrid' show the error

Specifications like the version of the project, operating system, or hardware.

The way I tried locally

When I edit node_modules/canvas-datagrid/dist/types.d.ts file with add export = canvasDatagrid;, vscode can read the type definition correctly

Hi @TonyGermaneri, I love the module but just like @ug1989 I can't seem to import it in my project because of a typing issue.

Hi, apologies for not responding sooner — I'll look into this tomorrow

Are there any updates?

For temporary solution:

1. Create a file for module declaration canvas-datagrid.d.ts with
   declare module 'canvas-datagrid';
2. Add it into your tsconfig.json
{ "compilerOptions: ..., "include": [ "path/to/canvas-datagrid.d.ts" ], }
3. Use it in your code
   import canvasDatagrid from 'canvas-datagrid';

Sorry for being so inattentive. Life can suck you away from projects you love. Thanks for the temp solution @kent-leow
