typescript definitions stopped working

[chase-moskal]

hello! love the library!

i upgraded meow, and the typescript typings seem to have stopped working

• ✅ [email protected] all good
  • this version of the package has this exports field:

    "exports": {
        "types": "./index.d.ts",
        "default": "./source/index.js"
    },

• ❌ [email protected] gives me a typescript error:
  • TS2307: Cannot find module 'meow' or its corresponding type declarations.
  • the error points at this line:

    import meow from "meow"

  • this version of the package has this exports field:

    "exports": {
        "types": "./build/index.d.ts",
        "default": "./build/index.js"
    },

i don't understand what's going wrong, since i can see at the unpkg browse link for [email protected] that the export field links to index.d.ts and index.js look correct to me 🤷‍♂️

i'm on node v21.1.0 and typescript 5.2.2

in the meantime as a workaround i added a file called module-declarations.d.ts to my codebase with the following content, which worked to suppress the typescript error

declare module "meow"

hopefully this info helps, cheers ❤️

thanks,

the solution was to set these settings in my tsconfig.json:

"module": "nodenext",
"moduleResolution": "nodenext",

this is required for meow, however it should be noted that you could also have dependencies that do not yet support nodenext, such as BabylonJS/Babylon.js#13797 which was an issue i encountered in some of my projects
