Module '"axios"' has no exported member 'AxiosError'.ts(2305)

Describe the issue

Hi,

I have nextjs typescript app and I am using AxiosError like onError?.(error as AxiosError); and I get Module '"axios"' has no exported member 'AxiosError'.ts(2305) error. I installed types doing npm install axios @types/axios still same issue, also they are imported import axios, { AxiosError } from "axios";. How can I fix this?

Example Code

import axios, { AxiosError } from 'axios';

interface ApiResponse {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const fetchData = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get<ApiResponse>('http://localhost:8080/api/data');
    console.log('Data:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
      console.error('Axios error:', error.message);
    } else {
      console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
    }
  }
};

fetchData();

Expected behavior

AxiosError not to show error in typescript
Module '"axios"' has no exported member 'AxiosError'.ts(2305)

@BarishSarac, try removing the node_modules folder and reinstalling all the dependencies. I'm not facing this issue. Also, I don't think there is a need to install @types/axios. If you're still facing this issue, then try removing the node_modules folder, remove axios from package.json, and then reinstall axios.

Hello @Anonymous961,

I created a new nextjs app to test from scratch. So I used npx create-next-app and then installed axios but I still get the error. I activated typescript, so I tested even with @types/axios installed, still getting error. So fresh nextjs app, having axios installed still giving this error.

I had the same issue, this fixed it for me

@BarishSarac try using a venv maybe?

@Jey-Alt, thank you for recommendation

It worked when I upgraded packages, deleted node_modules and installed it back

{
"compilerOptions": {
// ... other options ...
"typeRoots": ["./node_modules/@types"],
"types": ["offscreencanvas", "stats.js", "webxr"]
},
"include": ["next-env.d.ts", "/*.ts", "/*.tsx"],
"exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

updating tsconfig.json fixed the issue for me

In my case it was that I installed @types/axios by error. The package is unmantained, so don't use it.

Removing it from package.json and "npm i" did the trick

@manuman94 or uninstall the package: npm uninstall @types/axios
