intellisense does not work as expected

[sudo-suhas]

When I try to use this module from VSCode in common js, intellisense does not work correctly because of default export(I think):

This is mostly a nice to have and would be good if it could be fixed.

If you want that in CJS, you need to use require('ow').default. It's not possible (as far as I know) to make the type definitions work with CJS and ESM. If you know of a way, please let us know and we would be happy to fix it.

I see. Thanks anyway.

@sudo-suhas Please do open a VSCode issue about this and link to this issue. It seems like something VSCode should support without having to use .default.

[SamVerschueren]

It's rather a typescript (language server) issue I guess.

[sudo-suhas]

@sindresorhus I have reported the issue to VSCode - microsoft/vscode#49872.

@SamVerschueren The folks at VSCode usually move the issue to the Typescript repo if it needs to be addressed there. Let us see.

Would the change suggested in microsoft/vscode#49872 (comment) be welcome?

[SamVerschueren]

Does that work? See my comment in the thread. I believe it breaks for ESM.
