Cannot import createLocal using TypeScript

[peter-murray]

The packages are distributed in the dist not lib directory for this module, please update the import to use the dist files and let me know if that is still an issue.

This is what I've tried:

import Api from "node-hue-api/dist/esm/api/Api";
import { createLocal } from "node-hue-api/dist/esm/api";

PHPStorm is not aware of any problems, but when I try to build, this is the error I'm getting:

build failed (src/hue/index.ts:3:28 import { createLocal } from "node-hue-api/dist/esm/api";): Could not resolve "node-hue-api/dist/esm/api"

Same goes if I substitute esm for cjs.

A workaround is to do this instead, but I'd rather know how to do it without:

import { v3 } from "node-hue-api";

v3.api.createLocal(…);

Specifying Api as a return type was giving me trouble. The solution was this:

import { discovery, v3 } from "node-hue-api";
import { Api } from "node-hue-api/dist/esm/api/Api";

What threw me off was having to import Api which was specified in the file Api which was a part of the folder api.

I would suggest improving this.
