Cannot import the module openai module (TypeScript + Node.js ESM) | OpenAI | Page 1

OpenAI Module Import Error.

govindraj33968@gmail.com
I've been attempting to import the openai module in my typescript project:

import { Configuration, OpenAIApi } from 'openai';

I'm receiving this error:

error TS2305: Module '"openai"' has no exported member 'Configuration'.
error TS2305: Module '"openai"' has no exported member 'OpenAIApi'.

any help would be appreciated. cheers!

The error message suggests that the openai module you're trying to import does not have the named exports Configuration and OpenAIApi. This could be due to a version mismatch or an incorrect installation.

Here are a few steps you can try:

Make sure that you have installed the openai module correctly. You can do this by running npm install openai in your terminal.

Check the version of the openai module you have installed. The Configuration and OpenAIApi named exports were introduced in version 0.6.0. If you have an earlier version, you'll need to upgrade. You can do this by running npm install openai@latest in your terminal.

If you have the correct version of the openai module installed, try importing the named exports individually:

ts
Copy code
import Configuration from 'openai/dist/lib/Configuration';
import OpenAIApi from 'openai/dist/lib/OpenAIApi';
This should work as a temporary solution until the issue with the named exports is resolved.

I hope this helps!
