Question

I'm new to typescript my problem is that local module i created I can't use

./route/routes.ts

import routes from 'next-routes'
                           
let route = new routes()

route.add('index', '/:name')

export default route

and in my server.ts

import route from "./route/routes"

but when i run npm run start then i get the following error

Try moving routes.ts, to wherever your server.ts file is present, update the import statement, and see if it works
