So, it has been a very long time since I have coded (feel off the face of the earth doing conservation work in Madagascar since 2013 with occasional gulps up for air / internet), and many things have changed. I did code during that time, there is very little my trusty brackets editor and I could not accomplish while coding by candle light in my hut, but now that I am back in part of the world with internet, it is time to get back up to date with a great many things including modern code styles & environments! So your going to continue to get slammed with a few noob questions for the next few days while I continue to get back up to speed.
Right now I am trying to get my toes wet with typescript using VSCode and followed the NPM guide. Unfortunately I keep getting:
“use strict”;
Object.defineProperty(exports, “__esModule”, { value: true });
written at the top of my converted js files.
I must not have something set up right as I keep getting a console error preventing things from loading.
The exact console error in FF/Chrome is:
ReferenceError: exports is not defined
This happens to each one of my js files converted from ts files.
If I delete those header lines things work fine, but obviously they exist for a reason. Where should exports be declared and how do I fix the definition issue?
