@types/serialport module not import into ts class

Question

I have installed this dependency(js) in existing Angular(ts) project but you won't compile this code until if it's converted into ts. Then I found a ts supported repository that can manage your back support for typescript . But anyhow I am not able to import those dependency in my class

 import { SerialPort } from '@types/serialport';

And throw an error node_modules/@types/serialport/index"' has no exported member 'SerialPort'.

So any other way can I import serialport object ? Please give a flag exactly where I am doing wrong. Your help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Serialport type declarations are from DefinitelyTyped.

From the index.d.ts, it seems to declare a namespace.

Try:

import * as SerialPort  from 'serialport';

NOTE: You directly import from serialport not from @types
