TypeError when using createAWSConnection from @acuris/aws-es-connection
If you are encountering a TypeError when using the createAWSConnection function from the @acuris/aws-es-connection package in TypeScript, you’re not alone. This error can be frustrating, but fortunately, there are a few solutions you can try to resolve it.
Solution 1: Check TypeScript Version
The first thing you should do is check your TypeScript version. This error can occur if you are using an outdated version of TypeScript that doesn’t support the features used by the @acuris/aws-es-connection package. Make sure you are using TypeScript version 3.7 or above.
If you need to update TypeScript, you can do so by running the following command in your project directory:
npm install typescript@latest --save-devSolution 2: Type Assertion
If you are already using TypeScript 3.7 or above and still encountering the TypeError, you can try using a type assertion to explicitly specify the type of the createAWSConnection function. This can help TypeScript understand the correct types and resolve the error.
import { createAWSConnection } from '@acuris/aws-es-connection';
// Type assertion
const connection = createAWSConnection as any;
// Use connection
// ...By using the as any type assertion, you are telling TypeScript to treat the createAWSConnection function as any type, which can help bypass the type checking and resolve the TypeError. However, be cautious when using type assertions, as they can potentially introduce runtime errors if the types are not compatible.
Solution 3: Declaration Merging
If the above solutions don’t work, you can try using declaration merging to extend the existing type definitions of the @acuris/aws-es-connection package. This can help you add missing or incorrect type information and resolve the TypeError.
// Extend the type definitions
declare module '@acuris/aws-es-connection' {
export function createAWSConnection(): any;
}
// Use createAWSConnection
const connection = createAWSConnection();
// ...By declaring a module with the same name as the package and extending it with the missing or incorrect type information, you can help TypeScript understand the correct types and resolve the TypeError.
Try these solutions one by one and see which one works for your specific case. Hopefully, one of them will help you resolve the TypeError when using createAWSConnection from @acuris/aws-es-connection in TypeScript.
