[TypeScript] Definitions prevent importing middy

[MichaelHindley]

Using middy 0.15.7 and Typescript 2.8.3.

import middy from 'middy' results in module node_modules/middy/index has no default export.

import { middy } from 'middy' results in has no exported member middy, did you mean IMiddy? IMiddy is just an interface and can not be used as a value though.

Changing export = middy; to export default middy in https://github.com/middyjs/middy/blob/master/index.d.ts#L41 fixes this issue

import * as middy from 'middy' is what you want

[MichaelHindley]

@aequasi while that may work, it results in:

ERROR in /project/node_modules/middy/middlewares.d.ts
(4,8): error TS1192: Module '"/project/node_modules/middy/index"' has no default export.

When using middlewares.

The line is middleware.d.ts#L4 which also expects it to be export default middy rather than export = middy.

Is there a reason why a default export is not used in this situation? It's just a bit weird not being able to import middy from 'middy', which I would say is the default most would expect.

[cryptiklemur]

What i posted is meant to solve the "no default export". I'm using it now with no issue.

Default exports are a typescript thing. The are the equiv of doing module.exports.default = SomeModule. For non typescript projects, that forces you to require with const SomeModule = require('some-module').default;

[cryptiklemur]

And, if this type definition was generated automatically (which i'd assume), it wont get a default export

[MichaelHindley]

I see, aren't default exports are a ES6 thing and not ts specific though?

But middleware.d.ts#L4 is not compatible with the type definitions for middy either way you chose to import- it will fail every time as soon as you use any middleware, I'm not quite sure how you got it to work since just checking out middy in a blank project gives the typescript compiler error in regards to this!

[cryptiklemur]

No, they are ts specific

import {IMiddy} from 'middy';
import * as jsonBodyParser from 'middy/src/middlewares/jsonBodyParser';
import * as httpErrorHandler from 'middy/src/middlewares/httpErrorHandler';

The above works perfect for me, and has the added benefit of not including the other middleware when not necessary.

You can ALSO do:

import {IMidd} from 'middy';
import {jsonBodyParser, httpErrorHandler} from 'middy/middlewares'

@aequasi Sorry, typescript newbie here

import * as cors from 'middy/src/middlewares/js'; 

results in error

Could not find a declaration file for module 'middy/src/middlewares/cors'. '/home/lakshmi/Work/src/hearout/hearout-app/node_modules/middy/src/middlewares/cors.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm install @types/middy` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'middy/src/middlewares/cors';`ts(7016)
Submodule import paths from this package are disallowed; import from the root instead (no-submodule-imports)

whereas

import { cors } from 'middy/middlewares';

results in

Submodule import paths from this package are disallowed; import from the root instead (no-submodule-imports)

Typescript: 3.5.3.

tsconfig.json https://gist.github.com/lakshmi-kannan/b5161d3291efaa99f2d62e6566e56271
tslint.json https://gist.github.com/lakshmi-kannan/127e05fca2c74c4bcb0be6ceb8177d24

Any ideas?

When using: import { cors } from 'middy/middlewares'; I'm getting:

I'm going to close for now. All ts definitions will be redone in middy v2. I will need help, as I don't know TS, please post on #587 if you can.
