Error: Cannot find module 'fs/promises'
when I looked at the compiled code this is what I found...
var promises_1 = require("fs/promises");
which started working by changing it to
var promises_1 = require("fs").promises;
This is my typescript file import
import { readFile, writeFile, appendFile } from "fs/promises";
my package.json file
"devDependencies": {
"@types/cheerio": "^0.22.22",
"@types/got": "^9.6.11",
"@types/node": "^14.14.6"
},
"dependencies": {
"cheerio": "^1.0.0-rc.3",
"got": "^11.8.0"
}
and my tsconfig.json file
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "commonjs",
"strict": true,
"outDir": "dist",
"sourceMap": true
},
"include": ["src/**/*"],
"exclude": ["node_modules", "**/*.spec.ts"]
}
node version 12.18.0
Is there someone facing the same problem or am I doing something wrong?
please help
Thanks...
The error was due to unsupported Node version 12.x which doesn't support this require statement...
var promises_1 = require("fs/promises");
but this works
var promises_1 = require("fs").promises;
This can be solved by updating the Node to the latest.
The solution I like best:
import { promises as fs } from 'fs';
async function main() {
await fs.writeFile('test.txt', 'hello');
}
What worked for me in node v12.18.1 was:
import { promises } from "fs";
const { readFile, writeFile } = promises;
I could use both methods within nestJS/express context.
