Bouncer functions are missing types for server

[vanekj]

Hello!

I found this module which I really like for my needs, but I ran into an issue with types of the bouncer functions on the server side. For example the authorize method. The method is auto-imported, but the code imported is for the client part of the application and I can't force it to the correct type where event is the first argument. I also tried to import it manually from the module itself but also with no luck.

The file on the screenshot is nested in the server/ directory.

Sample recreation on StackBlitz, https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-bgkk3g6m?file=server%2Fapi%2Fhello.ts

Could you please help me on that?

Thank you

I temporarily fixed it with patch-package module by appending Event (eg. authorizeEvent) to the bouncer functions.

Hey 👋,

I'm sorry about it but I'm unable to understand why it does not work. 🙁

I believe TypeScript is confused between src/runtime/utils/bouncer.ts#authorize() and src/runtime/server/utils/bouncer.ts#authorize() which signatures are not the same. Maybe this will be fixed with Nuxt v4 new directory structure.

Same problem, I think @huafu is right.

I found a temporal solution importing the function with the entire path:

import { denies } from "~~/node_modules/nuxt-authorization/dist/runtime/server/utils/bouncer";

Daniel could give the solution
