Could not find a declaration file for module 'alias-hq'.

[lighth7015]

Hi, when trying to use this with a SolidJS project, I'm receiving the following typescript error-

'/node_modules/alias-hq/src/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  There are types at '/node_modules/alias-hq/types/index.d.ts', but this result could not be resolved when respecting package.json "exports".
The 'alias-hq' library may need to update its package.json or typings.ts(7016)

Hmm, thanks.

Could you provide a reproduction, or just the code you're using to implement Alias HQ in Solid?

@davestewart you just need to import the package to get this error when using TypeScript (example below with VS Code):

For types to work properly when using ESM import, you need to remove exports from package.json and add a main property:

diff --git a/node_modules/alias-hq/package.json b/node_modules/alias-hq/package.json
index b9e233a..17c9f15 100644

npx patch-package alias-hq --exclude 'nothing'

(--exclude 'nothing' is required when patching package.json)

A better solution would be to export and support types for CommonJS and ESM.

You can find a good explanation of what's going on here.
