I discovered that Typescript doesn't know where to look for the
conf
type declaration. The issue can be reproduced by creating a new typescript / node project, runningnpm install conf
, and importing conf into a ts file without installing@types/conf
.Since the
@types/conf
package is now deprecated, I've added a line to the package.json to ensure the declaration file is always found in typescript projects.The fix is confirmed to solve the issue by running
tsc
to see the import error, adding the types property the package file directly innode_modules/conf
, and running tsc again to see a successful build.
