Walkthrough

The package.json was updated to add an "exports" field defining explicit entry points for CommonJS require and typings, including a direct export for "./package.json". The tsconfig.json was extended with new compiler options to allow synthetic default imports, generate declaration maps, and enforce consistent casing in file names. The src/lib/transport.ts import of MailMessage was changed from an internal nodemailer path to a local type. The src/types/transport.ts file added a new exported type alias MailMessage<T> based on the Transport<T> type from nodemailer.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Avoid or remove esModuleInterop usage (#78) esModuleInterop remains enabled in tsconfig.json, no removal or workaround applied.

Assessment against linked issues: Out-of-scope changes

Code Change Explanation
Addition of "exports" field in package.json Not related to the esModuleInterop issue; focused on module resolution and package entry points.
Addition of new type alias MailMessage<T> Type definition enhancement unrelated to esModuleInterop concern.
Import source change for MailMessage in transport.ts Refactoring type import source, unrelated to esModuleInterop issue.

Poem

In the garden of code, a bunny hops with glee,
Tweaking configs for all the world to see.
Modules now clear, exports in a row,
TypeScript and JavaScript in harmony flow.
With a wiggle of ears and a satisfied sigh,
This rabbit says, “Your builds will fly!” 🐇✨

3-3: LGTM! Import addition supports the new type alias.

Adding the Transport import is necessary for the new MailMessage type alias and maintains consistency with the existing Transporter import.


55-55: Excellent solution for avoiding internal module dependencies.

The MailMessage<T> type alias cleverly extracts the mail message type from the public Transport API using TypeScript's utility types. This approach eliminates the need to import from nodemailer's internal paths like "nodemailer/lib/mailer/mail-message", which should help resolve the esModuleInterop requirement mentioned in issue #78.

The use of Parameters<Transport<T>["send"]>[0] is a sophisticated type-level solution that maintains type safety while improving module compatibility.

10-14: isolatedModules: false is redundant & may hinder some build-time tooling

isolatedModules defaults to false; persisting it explicitly adds no value and can trip tools such as Vite/ESBuild that expect it to be true (or absent) when performing per-file transpilation. Unless you have a concrete reason to disable isolated compilation, drop the flag to keep the config minimal and interoperable.

Even after doing this I get this errors:

node_modules/mailtrap/dist/lib/transport.d.ts:2:8 - error TS1259: Module '"/Users/inhohwang/Desktop/Backend/Truth/functions/node_modules/@types/nodemailer/lib/mailer/mail-message"' can only be default-imported using the 'esModuleInterop' flag

2 import MailMessage from "nodemailer/lib/mailer/mail-message";
~~~~~~~~~~~

node_modules/@types/nodemailer/lib/mailer/mail-message.d.ts:32:1
32 export = MailMessage;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This module is declared with 'export =', and can only be used with a default import when using the 'esModuleInterop' flag.

Hey @truthhonestmessaging. Maybe you could provide us with a repo with a sample project (e.g. derived from your current one but with any sensitive details stripped away)? Because we've tried using this version of mailtrap-nodejs in different JS/TS codebases, and spotted no issues.

No, because what you are asking is too much for me to do the answer is no.

I want to help though. Because of this bug, I ended up forced having to be use esModuleInterop. There is no other way. This is at the very least code smell, and I am afraid it messed up my other imports in my entire project. Doing things like this "adding esModuleInterop" is risky for projects like mine, I think you guys should fix it so that this library compiles without esModuleInterop on, but I am using this flag, and things seem fine so far, but ideally this flag should be removed.

Hi @truthhonestmessaging, can you please double-check if the last commits fix the problem on your side?
