Module '"axios"' has no exported member 'AxiosError'.ts(2305)

Describe the issue

Hi,

I have nextjs typescript app and I am using AxiosError like onError?.(error as AxiosError); and I get Module '"axios"' has no exported member 'AxiosError'.ts(2305) error. I installed types doing npm install axios @types/axios still same issue, also they are imported import axios, { AxiosError } from "axios";. How can I fix this?

Example Code

import axios, { AxiosError } from 'axios';

interface ApiResponse {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const fetchData = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get<ApiResponse>('http://localhost:8080/api/data');
    console.log('Data:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
      console.error('Axios error:', error.message);
    } else {
      console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
    }
  }
};

fetchData();

Expected behavior

AxiosError not to show error in typescript Module '"axios"' has no exported member 'AxiosError'.ts(2305)

@BarishSarac, try removing the node_modules folder and reinstalling all the dependencies. I'm not facing this issue. Also, I don't think there is a need to install @types/axios. If you're still facing this issue, then try removing the node_modules folder, remove axios from package.json, and then reinstall axios.

Hello @Anonymous961,

I created a new nextjs app to test from scratch. So I used npx create-next-app and then installed axios but I still get the error. I activated typescript, so I tested even with @types/axios installed, still getting error. So fresh nextjs app, having axios installed still giving this error.

I had the same issue, this fixed it for me

@BarishSarac try using a venv maybe?

@Jey-Alt, thank you for recommendation

It worked when I upgraded packages, deleted node_modules and installed it back

In my case it was that I installed @types/axios by error. The package is unmantained, so don't use it.

Removing it from package.json and "npm i" did the trick

[cloudfocus]

@manuman94 or uninstall the package: npm uninstall @types/axios

@manuman94 or uninstall the package: npm uninstall @types/axios

Uninstalling @types/axios solved my issue, thanks @cloudfocus

i dont know why there is a @types package for axios. makes little sense as we have the dts where we declare types? my suggestion is to rely only on the types from axios as these will be most up to date

The package is not maintained and was probably created to fix things before Axios fully supported TS.

Spent a whole day in this issue to find out in the end that if we install the @types/axios these errors show up

[jasonsaayman]

i will add this to the documentation to note not to use this package. i will also try get this removed

[jasonsaayman]

the package is deprecated
