Answer 1

I had the same error and I fixed it with this configuration:

File: tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2015",                      
    "module": "commonjs",                    
    "strict": true,                          
    "esModuleInterop": true                  
  }
}
