fdir is not a constructor

[itesainnovation]

Hi there!

I'm getting this error while trying to create a new builder. Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks

Can you please show your code?

I am getting the same error:

Your sample code:
const fdir = require("fdir").default;

// create the builder
const api = new fdir().withFullPaths().crawl("path/to/dir");

// get all files in a directory synchronously
const files = api.sync();

// or asynchronously
api.withPromise().then((files) => {
// do something with the result here.
console.log(files);
});

Result is:

const api = new fdir().withFullPaths().crawl("path/to/dir");
^

I think there was no need for require("fdir").default. Try with: const fdir = require("fdir").

Exactly, it's fixed by not requiring default

The type definition also seems to have the inconsistency.

Error:

TypeError: fdir_1.default is not a constructor

Use:

import fdir from 'fdir';

const crawler: any = new fdir()
            .withBasePath()
            .filter((fPath) => fPath.endsWith('.exe'));

 const exes = [...crawler.crawl(folders[i].location).sync()];

Same issue

Apparently, export default doesn't work nicely with require so I had to migrate to using named imports. I have updated the documentation and README accordingly, please refer to that.

Great, thanks!
