Bitbucket is not a constructor using bitbucketjs

Question

Im using this library to manage bitbucket api from nodejs.

I have received a message about a deprecated endpoint so I saw that library have released a new version (2).

So, I have uninstall bitbucket dependency and installed again to version 2.7.0

But now, Im getting an error like this:

let bitbucketAPI = new Bitbucket()
               ^

TypeError: Bitbucket is not a constructor

This is the change in package.json

-    "bitbucket": "^1.15.1",
+    "bitbucket": "^2.7.0",

And this is my code:

let Bitbucket = require('bitbucket')
let bitbucketAPI = new Bitbucket()

I have deleted package-lock.json, node_modules/bitbucket folder, update dependencies with npm update but anything works..

Any idea?

The proper way to load this module is this:

const { Bitbucket } = require('bitbucket');

This is shown in the doc.

So, when you were just doing this:

let Bitbucket = require('bitbucket');

You were getting the module exports object, not the individual Bitbucket property of that object. To further understand,

// get module exports object
const bitBucketModule = require('bitbucket');

// get Bitbucket property from the module exports object
const Bitbucket = bitBucketModule.Bitbucket;

And, the recommended method using object desctructuring:

const { Bitbucket } = require('bitbucket');

is just a shortcut way to do it with less code.
