passport.js is an ES module

#

but you are compiling your TS code into JS using the common JS module system

#

either:

enable esModuleInterop in your tsconfig; this will allow for using the CJS require() syntax with ES modules https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#esModuleInterop
set the module option in your tsconfig to "esnext" to emit ESM code, and be able to import ES modules https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#module

TSConfig Reference - Docs on every TSConfig option

From allowJs to useDefineForClassFields the TSConfig reference includes information about all of the active compiler flags setting up a TypeScript project.

esmoduleinterop is true and it worked in my previous project but not working in my current project

#

I just tried removing nodemodules folder and reinstalled it and it works now.. thank you
