I'm currently facing an issue with a npm module located in a different directory that I've linked to another project using npm link. Despite successfully compiling the typescript, when I try to import the module and use its function, I encounter multiple errors. Below is the tsconfig for the npm module:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "commonjs",
"declaration": true,
"outDir": "./lib",
"strict": true,
},
"include": ["src"],
"exclude": ["node_modules"]
}
The index.ts file of the module looks like this:
import * as APIServices from "./API/API"
import APIPage from "./API/APIPage"
export { APIServices, APIPage }
Here is how I'm attempting to utilize the package:
import APIServices from 'common-backend'
console.log(APIServices)
However, upon running the file, I encounter the following errors:
TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
../../common-backend/lib/index.js:3:1 - error TS2323: Cannot redeclare exported variable 'APIPage'.
3 exports.APIPage = exports.APIServices = void 0;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...
...The errors are being thrown on the index.js file which contains the following code:
"use strict";
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
exports.APIPage = exports.APIServices = void 0;
var APIServices = require("./API/API");
exports.APIServices = APIServices;
...
...
...Could this be a configuration issue in the tsconfig? Or perhaps an error in the way imports and exports are handled? I've explored various possibilities but haven't been able to find a solution yet. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I neglected to include the API class being imported:
import { Validators } from "./Validators"
import { APIRoute, Config } from "./helpers/Interface"
import { Router } from "express"
const router = Router()
class API {
...
...
...
}
export { API, Validators, router }
