Cannot find module '@adminjs/typeorm' or its corresponding type declarations.

[Paroca72]

Hello,

I already seen something similar in the "closed" issues where is a workaround but not a solution.
Is possible to find a solution for this issue.

Node.js v18.16.0

Package,json

{
  "type": "module",
  "dependencies": {
    "@adminjs/typeorm": "^5.0.0",
    "@adminjs/express": "^6.0.0",
    "@types/express": "^4.17.17",
    "@types/express-session": "^1.17.7",
    "adminjs": "^7.0.6",
    "connect-typeorm": "^2.0.0",
    "express": "^4.18.2",
    "express-formidable": "^1.2.0",
    "express-session": "^1.17.3",
    "mssql": "^9.1.1",
    "reflect-metadata": "^0.1.13",
    "ts-node": "^10.9.1",
    "typeorm": "^0.3.17",
    "typescript": "^5.1.3"
  }
}

tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "ESNext",
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "target": "ESNext",
        "moduleResolution": "Node",
        "outDir": "dist",
        "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
        "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
        "isolatedModules": false,
        "strict": true,
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "useUnknownInCatchVariables": false,
        "inlineSourceMap": true,
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
    },
    "ts-node": {
        "esm": true
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

Thanks for your help

        "moduleResolution": "Node",

has to be NodeNext or Node16 ("module" too)

I tried those options for "moduleResolution" but the other AdminJS imports now give me a different error message:

The current file is a CommonJS module whose imports will produce 'require' calls; however, the referenced file is an 
ECMAScript module and cannot be imported with 'require'. Consider writing a dynamic 'import("@adminjs/express")' call 
instead.

I also tried the workaround described in the previous issue #60 and was still getting the error Cannot find module…. 🤔

Downgrade to v.4 helped

Downgrade to v.4 helped

I tried that as well and got a bit further, though I don't love that path since 5.0.0 has been out for two and half months with no patches to it. 😬

Either way, I'm having a lot of issues related to styled-components, which didn't seem to get added as a dependency when I installed AdminJS. Happy to create a separate issue if that's helpful, but I'm wondering if they're somehow related. 🤔

#0 8.254 node_modules/@adminjs/design-system/types/src/atoms/avatar/avatar.d.ts(6,58): error TS2694: Namespace '"node_modules/styled-components/dist/index"' has no exported member 'StyledComponent'.
#0 8.255 node_modules/@adminjs/design-system/types/src/atoms/button/button-css.d.ts(1,21): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@styled-components' or its corresponding type declarations.

@sbassin most if not all of our commercial projects use @adminjs/typeorm and we've had no issues with typeorm/styled-components after migrating them to the latest versions. It's difficult to help without knowing other details regarding your project setup.

[sbassin]

I can appreciate that, @dziraf, and thanks for the reply. What information would be most helpful? I will freely admit to being quite inexperienced regarding many the tsconfig.json compiler settings. Here's what I have been trying in that file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "rootDirs": ["./src", "./test"],
    "target": "ESNext",
    "types": ["node", "jest"],
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "module": "NodeNext",
    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
    "strict": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "strictPropertyInitialization": false,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["src/*"],
      "@test/*": ["test/*"],
      "@test-utils/*": ["test/util/*"],
      "@factories": ["factories"],
      "@factories/*": ["factories/*"],
      "@db/*": ["src/db/*"],
      "@models/*": ["src/models/*"],
      "@resolvers/*": ["src/resolvers/*"],
      "@services/*": ["src/services/*"]
    }
  }
}

And here are the dependencies in my package.json file:

  "dependencies": {
    "@adminjs/express": "^6.0.0",
    "@adminjs/typeorm": "^5.0.0",
    "@types/express-session": "^1.17.7",
    "adminjs": "^7.0.8",
    "apollo-server": "^3.12.0",
    "apollo-server-express": "^3.12.0",
    "auth0": "^3.4.0",
    "bcrypt": "^5.1.0",
    "chance": "^1.1.11",
    "class-validator": "^0.13.2",
    "express": "^4.18.2",
    "express-jwt": "^8.4.1",
    "express-oauth2-jwt-bearer": "^1.5.0",
    "gravatar": "^1.8.2",
    "jsonwebtoken": "^9.0.1",
    "module-alias": "^2.2.3",
    "pg": "^8.11.0",
    "postgres": "^3.3.5",
    "reflect-metadata": "^0.1.13",
    "styled-components": "^6.0.3",
    "tslog": "3.3.4",
    "type-graphql": "^1.1.1",
    "typedi": "^0.10.0",
    "typeorm": "^0.3.16"
  },

Would any more information be valuable?

[dziraf]

@sbassin do you have type: "module" set in your package.json?

[sbassin]

I do not, @dziraf, but I'd be happy to try that later tonight. Thanks.

[sbassin]

Well, that seems to have cleared up a lot of the problems I was seeing. I'm still seeing a number of these issues relating to @styled-components like:

node_modules/@adminjs/design-system/types/src/utils/reset.styles.d.ts:1:21 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@styled-components' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import { css } from '@styled-components';
