in the esModuleInterop section of tsconfig documentation, it says:
By default (with esModuleInterop false or not set) TypeScript treats CommonJS/AMD/UMD modules similar to ES6 modules. In doing this, there are two parts in particular which turned out to be flawed assumptions:
a namespace import like
import * as moment from "moment"acts the same asconst moment = require("moment")a default import like
import moment from "moment"acts the same asconst moment = require("moment").defaultThis mismatch causes these two issues:
but I do not understand the mismatch here, or how it causes issues. Really appreciate it if someone can explain them in clearer terms.
