Import with babel returns undefined

Hi guys,

the reason for this is since from version 2, library was moved to Typescript and at the same time, default export "postmark" was removed.

Therefore the way to import the postmark library in case you are using ES6 way of importing would be the one @alex-sherwin mentioned:

import * as postmark from "postmark";
const client: postmark.ServerClient = new postmark.ServerClient("mykey");

(I think require part is not needed)

the full model of things that can be imported can be found here:

https://github.com/wildbit/postmark.js/blob/master/src/index.ts

Let us know if we should updated our docs, in migration and getting started sections to make this bit more clear:

https://github.com/wildbit/postmark.js/wiki/Migrating-from-1.x-to-2.x-version
https://github.com/wildbit/postmark.js/wiki/Getting-Started

We used in our examples the old style of import to make it work for most of the users.

@ibalosh It would probably be good to mention in https://github.com/ActiveCampaign/postmark.js/wiki/Getting-Started that the library should be imported as import * as postmark from "postmark".

I just ran into this same issue as well

thanks, I have updated the documentation to include ES6 style of imports too

Observing the same thing, to get some semblance of type safety when using TypeScript I'm working around like so:

const postmark = require("postmark");
import * as PostmarkTypes from "postmark";

const client: PostmarkTypes.ServerClient = new postmark.ServerClient("mykey");

Copied 1x code from one API into a second API and upgrade to 2x. The awkward thing is that errors were not reported. Thanks to this issue I figured it out.

Docs on these pages are not accurate:

https://github.com/wildbit/postmark.js/wiki/Getting-Started

Hi @jasonhargrove

thank you for reporting this, we will see to make updates accordingly. Could you share details which part of the doc is inaccurate and caused silent errors when trying to migrate?

Please share library 2x version you were upgrading to, too.

Thanks,
Igor
