Require to Import with initialization paramater

Sorry if this is a repost/duplicate.

I'm needing some guidance with converting this require statement to an import statement.

I'm using the mailchimp API which has a require statement documented.

const mailchimpClient = require("mailchimp_transactional")("YOUR_API_KEY");

I need to convert this to an import statement as I'm using NestJS and eslint doesn't like require.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 
  • import mailchamp from 'mailchimp_transactional'

const mailchimpClient = mailchimp("YOUR_API_KEY")

    or

    import * as mailchamp from 'mailchimp_transactional'

const mailchimpClient = mailchimp("YOUR_API_KEY")

    depending on how your tsconfig looks like.
