[unsure] Adjust how sanitize is made available for Typescript?

[kberg]

AFAICT, the way which sanitize is exported isn't ideal:

https://github.com/parshap/node-sanitize-filename/blob/master/index.d.ts#L8

export = sanitize;

When I try to reference it using a standard Typescript import statement,

I get these two errors:

'sanitize' can only be imported by using 'import sanitize = require(\"sanitize-filename\")' or by turning on the 'esModuleInterop' flag and using a default import.
`This module can only be referenced with ECMAScript imports/exports by turning on the 'esModuleInterop' flag and referencing its default export.

As far as I can tell, this might be resolved changing export=sanitize to export sanitize.

I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve this?

npm i -D @types/sanitize-filename

I found that VS Code auto inserts this, which references the types:

import sanitize = require("sanitize-filename")

and use:

const str = sanitize("abc/def.txt")
