Im trying to create an enpoint to send a zip file and this error keeps apearing ERROR in ./apps/api/src/app/ingestion/ingestion.controller.ts:46:35 TS2694: Namespace 'global.Express' has no exported member 'Multer'.

Anyone knows how to solve it?

I tried some solutions that Chatgp gave me

Solution

  • Solved, you have to import in your tsconfig.json this lines

    "types": ["node", "Multer"],

    because Multer wasn't imported in the express environment. Here is the example

    {
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json", 
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "../../dist/out-tsc", "module": "commonjs",
    "types": ["node", "Multer"],
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "target": "es2015"
   },
   "exclude": ["jest.config.ts", "src/**/*.spec.ts", "src/**/*.test.ts"],
   "include": ["src/**/*.ts"]
}
