How to reproduce : Create new service containing SpotifyWebApi and launch the app

In order to fix it temporarly you can use

"esModuleInterop": true

in your tsconfig.json

I fixed this like so: import SpotifyWebApi = require('spotify-web-api-node');

I fixed this like so: import SpotifyWebApi = require('spotify-web-api-node');

this syntax doesn't even make sense

you either import it with ES6 (import {} from '') or ESM (require())
