Cannot find module '@vinejs/vine/types' or its corresponding type declarations.

Describe the bug

I encountered an issue while trying to use the @vinejs/vine library for type inference according to the documentation at https://vinejs.dev/docs/getting_started#inferring-types-from-schema.

Code Snippet:

import vine from '@vinejs/vine'
import { Infer } from '@vinejs/vine/types'

const schema = vine.object({
  username: vine.string(),
  email: vine.string().email(),
  password: vine
    .string()
    .minLength(8)
    .maxLength(32)
    .confirmed()
})

type UserRegistration = Infer<typeof schema>

Expected Result:

type UserRegistration = {
   username: string
   email: string
   password: string
}

Error Message:

Cannot find module '@vinejs/vine/types' or its corresponding type declarations.

I followed the provided documentation carefully, and the code is correct. However, I'm still facing an issue locating the @vinejs/vine/types module.

Thank you for your time and support!

can you please share your tsconfig?
you'll need moduleResolution set to at least Node16

This is my tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "target": "es2021",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "incremental": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "strict": true,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "strictBindCallApply": false,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true
  }
}

FYI, I tried vine.js in my Nest.js project.

[Julien Ripouteau]

Vine is ESM-only so it's incompatible with NestJS, which still uses CommonJS

[Aryan Jaya]

So, do you mean I can't use Vine in NestJS project?

[Julien Ripouteau]

yeah as long as NestJS doesn't migrate to ESM, it won't be possible

give a try to Adonis.js, a backend framework that will support ESM for version 6 🙂

[Aryan Jaya]

I thought "Vine" could be used in NestJS :(

Yeah, I also planned to try Adonis.js after the release of version 6.

You will be able to use vine when NestJS supports ESM. It seems that it is not planned at the moment.

Ohh ok. Thanks for the clarification. 👍
