chrono-node 2.1.6 fails to compile with typescript + react

[caass]

I'm trying to use this package with my Typescript + React app -- it seems super awesome! Unfortunately, I get compiler errors when including it 😢

TypeScript error in [...]/node_modules/chrono-node/dist/index.d.ts(32,10):
'from' expected.  TS1005

    30 |     PM = 1
    31 | }
  > 32 | export * as de from "./locales/de";
       |          ^
    33 | export * as en from "./locales/en";
    34 | export * as fr from "./locales/fr";
    35 | export * as ja from "./locales/ja";

I thought this was related to this issue, but apparently this has been a feature since 2018. I'm concerned that this is an issue with react-scripts or my tsconfig.json.

Here's what I'm working with:

❯ cat tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "jsx": "react"
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

❯ yarn --version
1.22.4

❯ node --version
v14.6.0

❯ yarn why chrono-node | grep "Found"
=> Found "chrono-node@2.1.6"

❯ yarn why typescript | grep "Found"
=> Found "typescript@3.7.5"

❯ yarn why react-scripts | grep "Found"
=> Found "react-scripts@3.4.1"

I tried changing the node version to 12.x, the chrono version to 1.x, and the react-scripts version to 3.4.0, but none of those worked. If necessary, I can create a minimal reproducible example, but I'm hoping this is an easy fix 🤞

ok. I updated the index.ts to avoid export * ... usage in 3225daf
Could you try update to 2.1.7?

Thank you for your quick response! I had tried something similar with no success, and upon updating I get this error message:

TypeError: chrono_node__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_3___default.a is undefined

>  8 |     const result = chrono.parse(input, new Date(), {
   9 |       forwardDate: true,
  10 |     });

So I tried digging a bit more, and I think the issue had to do with me trying to access result[0] before there was any input to parse. Additionally, I was trying to import in a way that didn't work. I tried a bunch of different syntaxes, and for some reason now the `import * as chrono from 'chrono-node' seems to be working, even though it wasn't before. If I can reproduce the issue, I'll re-open it.

Thank you so much for your time, I'm glad this was resolvable!
