[BUG]
Version: ^5.2.16
MongoDB: not yet connected
Current behavior: some of the functions is missing, for example mongoose.model
Expected: model<T extends Document>(name: string, schema?: Schema, collection?: string, skipInit?: boolean): Model<T>;

the types definition is working, but when compiled / used, it crash in runtime since model function is missing

here is the contents of import * as mongoose

import * as mongoose is not supported. The only ES6 import syntax we currently support is import mongoose from 'mongoose'; and in general there really isn't a way for us to support import * as mongoose with the way our code is currently structured. Sorry for the trouble.

[deckyfx]

import mongoose from 'mongoose';
raise error mongoose has no default export

while
import * as mongoose from 'mongoose';
still work at the following versions

"mongoose": "^5.2.2",
"@types/mongoose": "^5.2.0",

@deckyfx what transpiler are you using? I haven't seen the 'no default export' error you mentioned even though we support building with webpack. If you're using typescript, you might try the suggestion from this comment
