typescript import dependency with class

Question

What is the best why to import this in typescript and get translate into js :

const randomBytes = require('react-native-randombytes').randomBytes;

I do this:

import * as randomBytes from 'react-native-randombyte';

It only give me:

const randomBytes = require('react-native-randombytes');

Answer 1

The syntax you're looking for is:

import { randomBytes } from 'react-native-randombyte';

This essentially means you want to import only randomBytes , not the entire module. For more information, take a look at the TypeScript documentation here:
