Cannot use import statement outside a module
Heyo.
Normally I don't run into these issues, but for some reason I cannot find this one out. There's some really weird things going on.
This is the beginning of my main.ts file:
TypeScript
import { Client, Databases, Account } from "node-appwrite";
import {
getUsers,
getUserSelf,
getUserData,
getUserDataSelf,
} from "@/utils/user-actions";
import { getEvents } from "@/utils/event-actions";
export const client = new Client();
export const account = new Account(client);
export const databases = new Databases(client);
export { ID } from "node-appwrite";
type Context = {
req: any;
res: any;
log: (msg: any) => void;
error: (msg: any) => void;
};
export default async ({ req, res, log, error }: Context) => {
But I am getting an error for the imports. :crey:
I tried looking in the template: https://github.com/appwrite/templates/blob/main/node-typescript/whatsapp-with-vonage/src/main.ts, however there you import files using .js even though the files are .ts..? Which also does not work. So confused on that.
TL;DR
Developers are encountering the "Cannot use import statement outside a module" error in their TypeScript file. The issue lies in the import paths. To resolve it, ensure correct module paths are used, i.e., use relative paths or consider setting up a module resolution strategy.
What does your package.json look like?
Ah sorry didn't see your message.
