twilio.AccessToken is “not a constructor” in TypeScript on Firebase Functions

Question

I tried this with TypeScript on Firebase Functions:

import * as twilio from 'twilio';
function generateToken(iden,room){
    const token = new twilio.AccessToken(
        envconf.twilio.sid,
        envconf.twilio.apikey,
        envconf.twilio.apisecret,
    )
    token.identity = iden;
    const grant = new twilio.AccessToken.VideoGrant()
    token.addGrant(grant);
   return token.toJwt();
}

but I get this error in logs:

TypeError: AccessToken is not a constructor

but this is like how they did it in the documentations . So maybe I should switch from TypeScript to Javascript?

UPDATE:

I moved it to the Javascript, I get the same error. So this is not a TypeScript/Javascript compatibility issue.

UPDATE 2:

I changed

const token = new twilio.AccessToken(

to

const token = new twilio.jwt.AccessToken(

and for some reason, it worked! I didn't post this update as an answer, because I don't understand why what they wrote in the example doesn't work and this works!

Answer 1

Try to import twilio as :

const { twilio} = require('twilio');

Or

import { twilio } from 'twilio'

Answer 2

这是文档中的错误，他们已将其修复。
