NestJs Weird imports

[ornate merlin]

Hello, Is there a good reason why I am allowed to import isString from the class validator package? This is not even deprecated.
I find it confusing that I'm allowed to do that, I should only be able to import IsString from the package imo.

[wise latch]

this is not Nest related problem, see you're imported it from 'class-validator' 🙂

first of all isString != IsString
second i vaguely remembering the core team had to fork class-validator because it wasn't being updated anymore or something like that

Yeah you are right, that's why I am saying, one is the right one and the other is the wrong one, they are different

IsString is the right one xD
