错误：找不到带有Webpack和Typescript的模块“。” mongodb

Question

I have a problem when I can use mongoose with webpack. I already installed it as a dependency but when I want to use the mongoose object and execute it it commands me that it can not find the "." Module. And that seems very strange, I've been looking for a good time, I installed the dependencies again, delete the npm cache, reinstall webpack

I would appreciate your support, thank you very much

webpack.config.js

var path = require("path");

var typescriptLoader = {
    test: /\.ts$/,
    loader: 'ts-loader'
};

module.exports = {
    entry: "./src/main.ts",
    target: "node",
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
        publicPath: "dist/",
        filename: "main.js"
    },
    node: {
        __filename: true,
        __dirname: true
    },
    watch: true,
    devServer: {
        contentBase: path.join(__dirname, "public_html"),
        watchContentBase: true
    },
    module: {
        rules: [ typescriptLoader ]
    },
    resolve: {
        extensions: [ '.js', '.ts' ]
    },
    externals: {

    }
}

Answer 1

Your mongoose is npm module. TypeScript may not recognized the way you import it. try the nodejs require module loading system.

var mongoose  = require('mongoose');

or

const mongoose  = require('mongoose');
