Keyword import returns undefiend for bcrypt package

Question

I'm writing on basic Nestjs starter project and when I import bcrypt - it returns undefined, but when I use require('bcrypt') it returns the bcrypt object.

How to import bcrypt via the import keyword?

---

My os is MacOS and I've installed bcrypt package v ^3.0.0. My node version is 10.14.1;

Answer 1

Import the anonymous function and give it a name

import * as bcrypt from 'bcrypt'

Alternatively, install the typings for bcrypt.

npm install --save-dev @types/bcrypt

Then import and use the functions directly

import {hash} from 'bcrypt';
