Error trying to import deriv-api

[guilhermelionzo]

Hi there,

I'm trying to import deriv-api, but I'm receving the following error message:

> [email protected] start C:\Users\User\vscode-workspace\binarybot
> node index.js

file:///C:/Users/User/vscode-workspace/binarybot/index.js:4
import DerivAPI from '@deriv/deriv-api';
       ^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: The requested module '@deriv/deriv-api' does not provide an export named 'default'
    at ModuleJob._instantiate (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:92:21)
    at async ModuleJob.run (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:107:20)
    at async Loader.import (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:179:24)

I ran the code below using NodeJs v14.0.0 and v13.5.

Could you guys help me?

import express from 'express';
import cors from 'cors';
import routes from './routes.js';
import DerivAPI from '@deriv/deriv-api';

var app = express();
var router = express.Router()

app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());

router.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('ROOT FOLDER')
  })

app.use(routes);
app.listen(3333, () => {
    console.log('debug > console listening on port 3333');
});

If you guys need more information, please, let me know.

Hello my friend!!!

This error may occur because the require() isnt defined for the client-side!! Try to use the import {variables} from "YourModule" instead to see if it works.

Another option is put as top level of your package.json the type resolution as module:

{ "type": "module" }

The import statement if the default module resolution on ECMAScript 6.

I hope this solve your problem.

Hi @BrunoEmerich ,

Thank you for your reply my friend 😄

I've made a mistake and sent the wrong error message and code. I just updated the issue description.

My package.json have { "type": "module" } and all the external modules/libs are imported using import {variables} from "YourModule".

Unfortunately the error:
The requested module '@deriv/deriv-api' does not provide an export named 'default'

Probably I'm doing something wrong.
