Import errors in node

TypeError: prelude_1.prop is not a function

I tried using Maybe's for the first time in my life, and wanted to do a simple console.log. I got a similar result with ap via @typed/prelude:
https://github.com/marcusnielsen/mostjs-labs/blob/master/src/index.ts#L11

 const log = (maybe) => prelude_1.ap(prelude_1.toMaybe(console.log), maybe);
TypeError: prelude_1.ap is not a function

I was guessing it's my fault since I've never used ap, Maybe, or this framework before. But seeming this issue, maybe it's the same bug? Any advice for moving forward?

Hey @marcusnielsen there seems to be some sort of issue with the way TypeScript compiles ES2015 modules to commonjs. If you're interested in Maybe in particular, I'd suggest using @typed/maybe directly until we can figure out this issue here.

EDIT: Heres a webpackbin doing what is in your error message.

Additionally if you're using something like webpack to bundle your application, you can add module or jsnext:main to resolve.mainFields to use the ES2015 build instead and avoid this bug.

Using @typed/maybe worked out well! (I'm using tsc without webpack.)

Thanks for the help, I just did my first Maybe and ap , and it feels awesome 🎉

I'm thinking that going forward we could just have yarn add @typed/prelude be a convenient shortcut for yarn add @typed/either @typed/functions @typed/lenses @typed/list @typed/logic @typed/math @typed/maybe @typed/objects @typed/strings but not re-export these packages from itself, but instead requiring explicit imports from the other @typed/* packages.

What do you think?

I am much in favor of explicit imports. A convenient shortcut using @typed/prelude is preferable to re-exports.
