Property 'parse' does not exist on type 'typeof import("/xxx/frontend/node_modules/query-string/index")'

[esetnik]

Using the following code snippet I am getting a type error in v8.0.0

import queryString from 'query-string';

queryString.parse(window.location.search);

Make sure you have "module": "node16", "moduleResolution": "node16" in your tsconfig.json. (Example)

[esetnik]

I tried with the following tsconfig.json and it's the same problem. I'm using create-react-app in case it matters.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
    "module": "node16",
    "moduleResolution": "node16",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "jsx": "react-jsx"
  },
  "include": ["src", "test", "db"],
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "typescript-styled-plugin"
    }
  ]
}

Incorrect target.

[esetnik]

I also tried target es2020 as per your example and faced the same issue.

[sindresorhus]

I works fine for me with this tsconfig.

[arunmmanoharan]

@sindresorhus Same issue for me too. Tried your tsconfig.json and its still the same

@sindresorhus Same issue for me too. Tried your tsconfig.json and its still the same

Also does not work for me, also not with your tsconfig. Seems to be a general issue with version 8?

error TS2339: Property 'stringify' does not exist on type 'typeof import("/workspace/query-string-8.x/node_modules/query-string/index")'.

Having the same issue in my Remix project with "module": "node16", "moduleResolution": "node16"]

Property 'stringify' does not exist on type 'typeof import("/Users/raulmelo/development/raulmelo-studio/node_modules/.pnpm/query-string@8.0.0/node_modules/query-string/index", { assert: { "resolution-mode": "import" } })'.ts(2339)

tsconfig.json

```json { "include": [ "remix.env.d.ts", "**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx" ], "compilerOptions": { "lib": [ "DOM", "DOM.Iterable", "ES2019" ], "isolatedModules": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "jsx": "react-jsx", "moduleResolution": "Node16", "module": "Node16", "resolveJsonModule": true, "target": "ES2019", "strict": true, "allowJs": true, "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true, "baseUrl": ".", "paths": { "$infrastructure/*": [ "./app/infrastructure/*" ], "$ui/*": [ "./app/ui/*" ], "$screens/*": [ "./app/screens/*" ], }, // Remix takes care of building everything in `remix build`. "noEmit": true } } ```

Even if I change the target to ESNext it doesn't work.

I noticed that the query-string .d.ts is being generated like this:

export * as default from './base.js';

export {
	type ParseOptions,
	type ParsedQuery,
	type ParsedUrl,
	type StringifyOptions,
	type Stringifiable,
	type StringifiableRecord,
	type UrlObject,
} from './base.js';

But if I change to this:

-export * as default from './base.js';
+import * as base from './base.js';

+export default base

export {
	type ParseOptions,
	type ParsedQuery,
	type ParsedUrl,
	type StringifyOptions,
	type Stringifiable,
	type StringifiableRecord,
	type UrlObject,
} from './base.js';

Then it works just fine. 🤔

I came up to this after checking what TS gave me in the IntelliSense. It seems it has this default property, which isn't correct:

Obs.: I'm using TypeScript@4.9.4

[raulfdm]

Update: it seems if I change my package.json to "type": "module" the type problem goes away, however the entire project breaks because it cannot be ESM. :/

[baraeb92]

I think this will not work because node16, as the target and module, is not yet supported by those using NextJS? @sindresorhus

vercel/next.js#44177

[rafakwolf]

It's not working with NestJS yet, I tried changing my tsconfig like so:

@sindresorhus
Thank you for any help
