Can't install module

[Thelin90]

Hello.

I am currently trying out your project.

Currently when I do:

package.json

{
  "name": "kafka-to-socket",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "tsc": "./node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc",
    "build": "tsc",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^12.20.37",
    "typescript": "^4.5.3"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "kafka-socks": "0.1.10",
    "ts-node": "^10.4.0"
  }
}

And when I add:

import { Confluent, Consumer, Subject } from 'kafka-socks';

const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');
const { Server } = require('socket.io');

const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const io = new Server(server);

const KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVER = ['localhost:31659']
const kafka = new Confluent(KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVER).create("client-id");

const kafkaConsumer = kafka.consumer({ groupId:  "test-group" });
const kafkaSocksConsumer = new Consumer(kafkaConsumer, "topic", 'websocket-event-ID')
const kafkaSocksSubject = new Subject(io, 'websocket-namespace-ID')

I get this error:

I am day to day, not working with JS or typescript so I am a bit confused here?

I tried to install the type but don't think this exists.

npm i --save-dev @types/kafka-socks 

npm ERR! code E404

Is this something you have seen before?

Apologies for the delayed reply here - to test, can you try requiring the module rather than importing it? i.e. const { Confluent, Consumer, Subject } = require('kafka-socks');

While I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, this might solve your block!
