Describe your environment

• Operating System version: Mac Sonoma 14.3
• Firebase SDK version: v12.0.0
• Firebase Product: Admin SDK for NodeJS
• Node.js version: v18.17.1
• NPM version: 9.8.1
• VSCode version: 1.85.2
• ESLint version: 8.56.0
• @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin version: 6.20.0

Describe the problem

Using VSCode with ESLint & TypeScript enabled, I am trying to write a function that takes the results of defineSecret() and does some processing on it to reduce code duplication across my project. The issue is that the datatype returned, SecretParam, is not exported.

When trying:

import {SecretParam} from 'firebase-functions/params';

VSCode reports:

Module '"firebase-functions/params"' declares 'SecretParam' locally, but it is not exported.ts(2459)
index.d.ts(5, 67): 'SecretParam' is declared here.

TSC errors out with:

error TS2459: Module '"firebase-functions/params"' declares 'SecretParam' locally, but it is not exported.

Relevant Code:

The code below is throwing ESLint errors and fails to compile with tsc:

import {SecretParam} from 'firebase-functions/params';

export const safeGetConfigJsonVal = (secretKey: SecretParam): Record<string, any> => {
  if (!secretKey.value()) {
    throw new Error('secretKey.value() is null/undefined');
  }

  let myConfig;
  try {
    myConfig = JSON.parse(secretKey.value());
    return myConfig;
  } catch (ex) {
    throw new Error(
      `secretKey is not a valid JSON string: ${secretKey.value()}`
    );
  }
};

Workaround:

Put // @ts-ignore on the line immediately before the import line
