"SyntaxError: Unexpected token {" in Typescript Express

[utmishra]

Describe the bug

import swaggerJsDoc from 'swagger-jsdoc';
const options = {
  "definition": {
    "openapi": "3.0.0",
    "info": {
      "title": "Hello World",
      "version": "1.0.0"
    }
  },
  "apis": ['./src/routes*.js'],
};

const openapiSpecification = swaggerJsDoc(options);

Setting the above simple default specification on Typescript based Express throws the following error:

import { prepare, extract, organize, finalize } from './src/specification.js';
       ^
