I'm also experiencing this, is anyone able to please help?

I was able to use this module in pure JS but when switching to TS it won't compile and gives many errors which look like this:

Property 'Packer' does not exist on type 'typeof import("./node_modules/docx/build/index", { with: { "resolution-mode": "import" } })'.

The compiler will only seem to accept something like the following (non-sensical) code.

const { Document } = docx;
const { Packer, Paragraph, Table, TableCell, TableRow, Header, HeadingLevel, Footer, LevelFormat, TextRun, WidthType, AlignmentType, VerticalAlign, convertMillimetersToTwip, TableBorders, ShadingType, BorderStyle, ImageRun, HorizontalPositionAlign, VerticalPositionAlign, TextWrappingType, UnderlineType, FrameAnchorType } = Document;

Which gives errors like

TypeError: convertMillimetersToTwip is not a function

Here's my tsconfig,json

{
"$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig",
"display": "Node 21",
"_version": "21.0.0",
"files": [
"index.mts",
"index.d.ts"
],
"compilerOptions": {
"lib": [
"es2023",
"es5",
"es6",
"dom",
"dom.iterable"
],
"module": "node16",
"target": "es2022",
"strict": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
"moduleResolution": "node16"
}
}

Same here, even if it seems to work in local context.

import { IPatch, PatchType, TextRun, patchDocument } from 'docx';

TS could not infer any of these types, tsc tells this:
> error TS2305: Module '"docx"' has no exported member 'patchDocument'.

I can confirm the same issue.

This issue stems from the fact that with recent versions of Node and ECMAScript, import statements in modules must include the actual post-transpilation file extension. TSC and Vite do not (and seemingly will not ever) rewrite import paths. The actual JavaScript module produced by the build is flattened into a single .mjs file, but the type declarations were being left expanded across multiple files.

As an alternative to this simple and trivial fix in PR #2714 another option would be to update all relative path imports to include a file extension, but surely nobody would be foolish enough to... master...IntelliBridge-pwheeler:docx:modern-esm-typescript-support 🤦

Hello,

Is there any update on this issue? I am also experiencing this. Thanks to @sflanker and anyone else working on this!
