error TS2307: Cannot find module 'passport' about passport

I think this issue was fixed by installing @types/passport-local.

Hi, Facing the same issue. Installing types is not helping.

Please provide a minimum reproduction repository.

@jatin510 did you fix this issue? I have the same problem

[jatin510]

@types/passport-local

Installing the types will fix the issue. @artoodeeto

@jmcdo29 I was using docker and sharing the volume.

When I was removing the dist folder and again up the container. The types issue of passport got resolved.

Maybe! I have to change my docker-compose configuration.

@jatin510 what if I just wanted to use passport-facebook? Do i still need to install passport-local type? Im not using nest. Just raw typescript

[jatin510]

@artoodeeto No you don't need to install passport-local. The passport provides various strategies such as local, facebook, jwt, etc.

But you will need the passport package.

Please refer to this code example : https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Node-Starter/blob/master/src/config/passport.ts
