Question

I wanna change the express namespace in my typescript file and add another option to it, but eslint get some errors,

declare global {
  namespace Express {
    interface Request {
      currentUser?: User;
    }
  }
}

Error is: ES2015 module syntax is preferred over namespaces.

how can i fix this error except change ts rules

You can do it like this:

declare module 'express' {
  export interface Request {
    currentUser?: User;
  }
}
