Type definitions not loading when using require("validator") in node.js

[davidnbooth]

Describe the bug When I use require("validator") in a node.js project, the type definitions from DefinitelyTyped are not properly loaded. I can solve this by adding export = validator; to the bottom of the index.d.ts file in @types/validator

Examples

Additional context Validator.js version: 13.7.0 Typescript version: 4.7 Node.js version: 12.x OS platform: macOS

If you need to add something in @types/validator I would recommend opening a PR there

Ho @davidnbooth, does the following work for you?

const validator = require('validator').default

[davidnbooth]

@fedeci it does! Thank you! :)

[pano9000]

correct me if I am wrong, but as those types are part of the @types/validator project, that WikiRik mentioned above, I don't think there is an issue here? If so: I would like to close this issue here. @davidnbooth kindly confirm, if I can go ahead. If I don't hear any feedback a week from now, I will close the issue

Confirmed, thank you!
