Export Default?

export default messagebird;

Can you guys fix your Typescript types to not use export default, it doesn't work and I'm getting the following type error:

TypeError: messagebird_1.default is not a function

Here is also some additional reading on why export default is bad:

• Why we have banned default exports in Javascript and you should do the same
• Default Is Bad

Hey @tstachl, can you please check now, I've added example how to use it with TypeScript and fixed the typings. Please let me know if still doesn't work for you.

Hey @aodinok, it works with esModuleInterop, thanks for the tip. I decided to dynamically load messagebird now like so:

import("messagebird").then((messagebird: any) => {
  const client = messagebird("API_KEY");
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    client.balance.read((err, data) => {
      if (err) reject(err);
      resolve(data);
    });
  });
});

Using esModuleInterop is not an ideal solution

[VersusF]

Hello, any update on this? esModuleInterop is not compatible with other libraries that we use. Currently the only solution is:

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
this.messageBirdClient = require("messagebird")("MESSAGEBIRD_KEY");

But it is not the best one
