Use fs in typescript

Question

I\'m just trying to read a file using fs.readFileSync, though it seems it cannot be found.

I made sure to declare it, added it within my constructor:

Answer 1

Using node -v 10.15.0 and @types/node:

It seems declaration has been rewritten...

fs definition is declared as a module so you should do:

import fs from "fs"; // Without star

compiled:

var fs_1 = __importDefault(require("fs"));

or

const fs = require("fs"); instead of require("fs").default;

with star you will have fs.default.TheFunctionYouWant instead of fs.TheFunctionYouWant

The better way is to console.log(fs); to see what it is imported.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "typeRoots": [],
    "types": [
      "node"
    ]
  }
}
