BUG : problem of library import

[PhilippeR26]

Describe the bug When using this lib in ts-node, I have a compilation message error :

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
src/tmp/26.testSepolia.ts:12:28 - error TS1479: 
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("starknet-types")' call instead.
  To convert this file to an ECMAScript module, change its file extension to '.mts', 
or add the field `"type": "module"` to '/home/edmond/Documents/starknet/starknet.js-workshop-typescript/package.json'.

12 import { WALLET_API } from "starknet-types";
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To Reproduce

• create a TS script, including :

  import { WALLET_API } from "starknet-types";

• using this package.json :

  {
  "name": "starknet-js-typescript",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
  "test": "jest",
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
  "starknet": "6.9.0",
  "starknet-merkle-tree": "^1.0.2",
  "starknet-types": "^0.7.2",
  },
  "devDependencies": {
  "ts-node": "^10.9.2",
  "typescript": "^5.3.3"
  }
  }

• and this tsconfig.json :

  {
  "compilerOptions": {
  "target":"ES2022",
  "lib": [
    "es2022",
    "dom"
  ],
  "outDir": "./out",
  "rootDir": "./src",
  "incremental": true,
  "module": "Node16",
  "moduleResolution": "Node16",
  "resolveJsonModule": true,
  "strict": true,
  "esModuleInterop": true,
  "sourceMap": true,
  "isolatedModules": true,
  },
  "include": [
  "src/**/*"
  ],
  "exclude": [
  "node_modules"
  ]
  }

• try to compile

  ts-node ./script.ts

Expected behavior Use of this library with my project config, without compilation error.

Screenshots N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Browser & version [e.g. chrome, safari, webworker] : any
• Node version [e.g. 16.0.1] : ts-node@10.9.2
• library version : 0.7.2

Additional context I am using this project config for a long time, without any problem on many libraries, except this one.

The issue is that your bundle project is CommonJS so you can switch to new es-module or you can use type import: import type { SomeWalletApiType } from '@starknet-io/types-js' maybe you will need to use "moduleResolution": "Bundler" if you stay on Commonjs. This is not strictly a ts-types issue but I can do an example on your project if you still have this issue? so that others can copy the solution.

A script that handles the problem : https://github.com/PhilippeR26/starknet.js-workshop-typescript/blob/main/src/scripts/Starknet131/Starknet131-sepolia/2.testZeroable.ts

Link is deprecated, can we close this one ?

Unfortunately the problem is still there : https://github.com/PhilippeR26/starknet.js-workshop-typescript/blob/main/src/scripts/Starknet131/Starknet131-devnet/10.testZeroable.ts
