Can't be used within remix routes about validator.js

[WikiRik]

Type declarations are not handled in this project, but in the DefinitelyTyped repository; https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped

Not sure what OP means but I have issues with Remix. Just a regular import:

import isEmail from 'validator/lib/isEmail'
import isEmail from 'validator/es/lib/isEmail'

Results in:

Cannot find module 'validator/lib/isEmail' or its corresponding type declarations.

But the files clearly are there, I can cmd+click it and see the export.

In my tsconfig.json I've got:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "NodeNext",
    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
    "target": "ES2022",
  }
}

I can import with the file extension: import isEmail from 'validator/es/lib/isEmail.js', but then when I use it TS whines about it:

This expression is not callable.
  Type 'typeof import("/Users/bob/foo/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@types/validator/es/lib/isEmail")' has no call signatures.

Hey @arman94 Can you describe this issue?

[hilja]

Seems like you're trying to export toString which doesn't exist. Don’t know if it's related.

This is the exact issue I have with validator in Remix

Having the same issue here. I have @types/validator added but it's not helping.

I'm closing this issue since this is not something we can fix in this repo. Issues with @types/validator can be reported in the DefinitelyTyped repository; DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped
