Error: *.default is not a constructor

I get the following error, when testing some javascript code, transpiled from a typescript file.

Here is the error:

Error: _mapAction2.default is not a constructor

Here is the line of code that caused the error:

var mapAction = new MapAction(MapActionType.POLYGONDRAGGED, []);

Here is the original typescript-file map-action.ts:

import { IMapAction} from './imap-action';
import { MapActionType } from './map-action-type.enum';
import {LatLngLiteral} from 'angular2-google-maps/core';

export class MapAction implements IMapAction{
    type: MapActionType;
    paths: Array<LatLngLiteral>;

    constructor(mapActionType: MapActionType, paths: Array<LatLngLiteral>){
        this.type = mapActionType;
        this.paths = paths;
    }

    public getType(): MapActionType{
        return this.type;
    }

    public getPaths(): Array<LatLngLiteral>
    {
        return this.paths;
    }

}

Here is the transpiled .js-file map-action.js:

"use strict";
class MapAction {
    constructor(mapActionType, paths) {
        this.type = mapActionType;
        this.paths = paths;
    }
    getType() {
        return this.type;
    }
    getPaths() {
        return this.paths;
    }
}
exports.MapAction = MapAction;

You need to export a default value which will look like:

export default class MapAction implements IMapAction {...

And import it as:

import MapAction from './map_action_file';

Alternatively, if you want to export multiple things from the module you can do something like:

export class MapAction ...
export class MapSomethng ...

And import it as follows:

import { MapAction, MapSomething } from './map_action_file';

Another solution would be to add "esModuleInterop": true, into tsconfig.json.

esModuleInterop allows default imports from modules with no default export.

Check that your import is correct. you might miss {} for example.

import LatLngLiteral from '';

to

import { LatLngLiteral } from '';
