TypeScript & NodeJS：ES 模块中未定义导出 scope

Question

I have written my NodeJS JavaScript files with Import/Export syntax and my package.json has "type": "module"

The problem is that after tsc builds the code, the transpiled code in /build/server.js cannot run. It says Exports is not defined in ES module scope

Here's my tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "incremental": true,
    "target": "es2019" ,
    "module": : "commonjs",
    "allowJs": true ,
    "outDir": "./build",
    "strict": true ,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "strictFunctionTypes": true,
    "strictBindCallApply": true,
    "strictPropertyInitialization": true,
    "noImplicitThis": true ,
    "alwaysStrict": true ,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true ,
    "inlineSourceMap": true ,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true ,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "useUnknownInCatchVariables": false
  }
}

if I remove "module": "commonjs" and add "moduleResolution": "Node" , I get a different error with my imports:

Cannot find module /build/constants imported from /build/server.js The module /build/constants.js does exist, but in my code I'm not adding.js to my imports, so I'm importing it like this import {CONSTANTS} from 'constants' .

In a TypeScript file, when importing other TypeScript files, should the imports be like import {CONSTANTS} from constants.js or import {CONSTANTS} from constants.ts or import {CONSTANTS} from constants , which is what I have now.

I'm new to TypeScript. What's the best way to solve this problem I'm having?

Thanks

Answer 1

Updating tsconfig "module" and "target" to "ES6" solved the issue.

Answer 2

I found the solution. "type": "module" had to be removed from package.json
