node and typescript errors

[pine cipher]

Hi, I have import maps defined in deno.json and source files in src/ folder
deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "ioredis": "npm:ioredis"
  }
}

src/file.ts

import Redis from 'npm:ioredis';

So, when I try to run deno run -A --check src/file.ts I get a lot of unrelated TypeScript errors: https://pastes.dev/eFLkEAnhjA
What can I do?

I ran into something similar myself just yesterday.

Deno by default declares some types that are (sadly) incompatible w/ many other TypeScript projects. (In particular, I ran into this issue a lot with (p)react.) You'll need to configure your 'lib' settings to not use Deno's types, and instead use the more standard ones. Docs here:

https://deno.land/[email protected]/advanced/typescript/configuration#using-the-lib-property

You can also fix it with typescript <reference .../> directives, like this:
