Develop Reference

Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Non-string value passed to `ts.resolveTypeReferenceDirective`,

I don't know why am I getting the following error which say:
Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Non-string value passed to `ts.resolveTypeReferenceDirective`, likely by a wrapping package working with an outdated `resolveTypeReferenceDirectives` signature. This is probably not a problem in TS itself.
When i try to import the package inquirer in my nodejs application.
console.log("Hello world!");
import inquirer from "inquirer";
....
To run the application I'm using ts-node and I'm running it as follows:
ts-node index.ts
This is my package.json file:
{
....
"dependencies": {
"chalk": "^4.1.2",
"cors": "^2.8.5",
"cross-fetch": "2.6.1",
"dotenv": "^16.0.1",
"inquirer": "^8.2.4",
"ts-node": "^10.8.1",
"typescript": "^4.7.3"
},
"devDependencies": {
"#types/chalk": "^2.2.0",
"#types/cors": "^2.8.12",
"#types/inquirer": "^8.2.1",
"#types/node": "^17.0.42",
"nodemon": "^2.0.16",
"ts-node-dev": "^2.0.0"
}
....
}
I've tried to change the versions of inquirer and typescript but still it did not work.
What can be possibly the problem.

I have met with the same error but in my case I had no ts-node dependency installed, I fixed the error by adding that dependency.
You can also try to run your application with npx, in your case that will be npx ts-node index.ts.

Error TS2305: Module #types/angular has no exported member 'cookies'

I am having an issue with cookies not being defined in angular scope.
npm run start builds and starts the app just fine,
but when trying to run npm test that executes jest command, I am getting this error:
`Test suite failed to run app/components/Component1/Component1.ts:1:10
error TS2305: Module '"../../../../../node_modules/#types/angular"' has no exported member 'cookies'.`
in Component1.ts there is this import: import { cookies } from 'angular';
Build and run - ok.
Testing - not ok.
If you know where the issue can be hidden, please help :) Thank you.
my package.json:
{
"dependencies": {
...,
"angular": "^1.8.0",
"angular-cookies": "1.8.0",
"babel-polyfill": "^6.2.0",
...
},
"devDependencies": {
"#types/angular": "^1.8.0",
"#types/angular-cookies": "^1.8.0",
"#types/jest": "^26.0.19",
"angular-mock": "^1.0.0",
"angular-mocks": "^1.8.2",
"angularjs-jest": "^0.1.4",
"babel-core": "^6.24.1",
"babel-loader": "^7.0.0",
"jest": "^26.6.3",
"ts-jest": "^26.4.4",
...
}
}

solution for my issue was adding angular-cookies to tsconfig.test.json file.
I still do not understand why angular-cookies since source code and production build is taking types and definitions from angular package (and through IDE I can link to angular module rather than angular-cookies).
But that's life is all about - mysteries.
{
"extends": "./tsconfig.json",
"compilerOptions": {
"types": [
"node",
"jest",
"angular-cookies" --> THIS VERY LINE SOLVED MY ISSUE
]
},
"include": [
"index.d.ts",
"**/*.test.ts"
]

node module not found after copying only dependency modules with gulp-npm-dist

I am trying to find the best way to package only the node_modules dependencies that my project needs. So I found gulp-npm-dist and have a gulpfile.js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var npmDist = require('gulp-npm-dist');
gulp.task('CopyNodeDependencies', function() {
gulp.src(npmDist(), {base:'./node_modules'})
.pipe(gulp.dest('./node_dependencies'));
});
this places just the modules i need from my package.json:
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"name": "common",
"private": true,
"devDependencies": {
"gulp": "^3.9.1",
"gulp-less": "^3.1.0",
"gulp-npm-dist": "^0.1.2",
"gulp-rename": "^1.2.2",
"pump": "^1.0.1"
},
"dependencies": {
"chart.js": "^2.7.3",
"chartjs-node-canvas": "^2.0.1",
"moment": "^2.24.0"
}
}
but when I run my node file that has var moment = require('moment'); at the top it says cannot find module moment. I have renamed node_dependencies to node_modules and it still throws this error. I have also tried relative paths like ./node_dependencies/moment and that still doesnt work.
here is the folder structure of the node_dependencies if that helps:

You have to leave original node_modules directory as is to use require().
gulp-npm-dist copies only minified files without package.json, yarn.lock etc.

Cannot resolve module while trying to organize modules in React Native

I'm new to React Native and am trying to organize my React Native classes into modules to get rid of the "import from '../../../" mess. Here's my very simple folder structure:
Following the tutorial at here, I've structured my package.json as this for each folder:
{
"name": "#foldername"
}
Now, I'm trying to import Page (which is just a component superclass at this time, exported as default in the file):
import Page from '#app/components/core';
But it cannot be resolved. I've also tried:
import Page from '#app/#components/#core';
import { Page } from '#app/#components/#core';
import { Page } from '#app/components/core';
import { Page } from 'app/components/core';
None of them seem to be working. I've also tried them all without the # sign (removing it from both the package files and import statement), but no avail.
How can I organize my components to work that way (and it would be great if I knew what that # sign in front does, as I've also seen some tutorials without it)?
Here is my package.json in my root folder if it helps (haven't touched it, it's the way created by react-native init):
{
"name": "redacted",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
"test": "jest"
},
"dependencies": {
"react": "16.8.3",
"react-native": "0.59.3"
},
"devDependencies": {
"#babel/core": "^7.4.0",
"#babel/runtime": "^7.4.2",
"babel-jest": "^24.5.0",
"jest": "^24.5.0",
"metro-react-native-babel-preset": "^0.53.1",
"react-test-renderer": "16.8.3"
},
"jest": {
"preset": "react-native"
}
}

add babel-plugin-module-resolver to devDependencies.
If you have .babelrc just delete it and add babel.config.js. And add aliases there. It should look like this
function babelConfig(api) {
if (api) {
api.cache(false);
}
const presets = ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'];
const plugins = [
[
'module-resolver',
{
alias: {
appColors: './src/Colors',
appConstants: './src/Constants',
components: './src/Components',
screens: './src/Screens',
utils: './src/utils'
},
cwd: 'babelrc'
}
]
];
return {
presets,
plugins
};
}
module.exports = babelConfig;
Then you can use import like this
import { YourComonent } from 'components';
make sure you have exported as default.
Also, don't try to set the alias names with capital letters
This works with the latest react-native (0.59.3).
Here is my devDependencies
devDependencies": {
"#babel/core": "7.4.0",
"#babel/runtime": "7.4.2",
"#react-native-community/eslint-config": "0.0.3",
"babel-eslint": "8.2.2",
"babel-jest": "24.5.0",
"babel-plugin-module-resolver": "^3.2.0",
"enzyme": "^3.9.0",
"enzyme-adapter-react-16": "^1.10.0",
"enzyme-to-json": "^3.3.5",
"eslint": "5.15.3",
"eslint-config-airbnb": "16.1.0",
"eslint-plugin-import": "2.12.0",
"eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "6.0.3",
"eslint-plugin-react": "7.9.1",
"eslint-plugin-react-native": "3.2.1",
"jest": "24.5.0",
"metro-react-native-babel-preset": "0.53.1",
"react-test-renderer": "16.8.3"
},

If you're using VSCode, Intellisense of the IDE does not recognise just the package.json; include a tsconfig/jsconfig JSON file (TypeScript [ftw]/ JavaScript)
In compilerOptions add :
"paths" : {
"#alias1*" : ["./alias1/*"],
.....
}
For all your aliases. Then the editor should pick up your files.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/jsconfig
If you choose not to use VSCode, use Babel:
If your project doesn’t use Webpack - for example if you’re working with React Native, you can use your .babelrc file and a babel plugin to get aliasing set up.
Firstly, you’ll want to install babel-plugin-module-resolver with yarn or npm.
Once you’ve done that, open up your project’s .babelrc file, and under the plugins key, add this:
[
'module-resolver',
{
root: ['./src'],
alias: {
myAlias: './src',
},
},
];
Or use the package.json in root

It was my bad.
Instead of using it like:
import MyComponent from 'package/path/MyComponent'
I was using:
import MyComponent from 'package/path' (without my class file at the end).
I've imported it correctly (also removed the app package and the # prefixes and directly referenced components as a package in its package.json file) (including the component name):
import Page from 'components/core/Page';
It worked perfectly.

In tsconfig.json, add the following :
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": "app"
...
}

JEST test not understanding import statement

Im using JEST to test my app. But Im getting an error from the test file --
import xyz from './XYZ.js';
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import
Then I created a .babelrc file and it has the following code --
{
"presets": [
"es2015"
]
}
After this, whichever file I have imported in the test file does not throw this error. But if one of the imported files (like XYZ.js) have import statement in itself, then it gives the same error on that file.
My package.json devDependencies (significant packages) --
"devDependencies": {
"babel-jest": "^19.0.0",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.22.0",
"eslint": "2.0.0",
"eslint-plugin-react": "latest",
"express": "^4.12.2",
"jest": "^19.0.1",
"react": "^15.3.2",
"react-dom": "^15.3.2",
"react-router": "^2.8.1"
},
Can anyone point out what I have missed?

Try using
import { xyz } from './XYZ.js';
Also make sure you exported the module
export function xyz() {}
And check out Babel stage-0
