Property 'context' does not exist on type 'NodeRequire'. TS2339

Question

I can't clear this error. I've installed and reinstalled webpack types but can't figure out how to make this work. Is there a way to clear or bypass this error?

Error

TypeScript error in /app/src/components/MoviePage/MoviePage.tsx(9,11):

Code with error

const movieThumbImages = importAll(
  require.context("../../assets/moviePosterImages", false, /\.(png|jpe?g|svg)$/)
);

Function

export const importAll = (r: any) => {
  return r.keys().map(r);
};

package.json

  "version": "0.1.0",

here you can find the answer: webpack - Property context does not exist on type NodeRequire

npm i @types/webpack-env -D

add "webpack-env" into types in tsconfig.json like:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "types": [
      "node",
      "webpack-env" // here
    ]
  },
  ...
}
