Typescript definition is broken

[KromDaniel]

Hey

• Typescript 3.0.3
• ioredis 4.0.0

Typescript definition throws an error not matter what combination of import I'm trying

import * as Redis from "ioredis";
const redis = new Redis();

error TS2351: Cannot use 'new' with an expression whose type lacks a call or construct signature.

When trying

import Redis from "ioredis";
const redis = new Redis();

Getting the error

TS1192: Module '"node_modules/@types/ioredis/index"' has no default export.

Any ideas?
thanks!

Would you try to upgrade @types/ioredis package to see whether the problem still exists? The package is located in another repo: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/8fb0189dd4432b854d72d9e78fcdea53829b24fe/types/ioredis/index.d.ts.

Not sure where the problem is. Here's my setup:

@types/ioredis: 4.0.3
ioredis: 4.0.0

Tested with 3.0.3 & 3.1.1

It seems that the tsconfig.json file didn't have the key allowSyntheticDefaultImports set for true, now it's fixed
