Packages

Typescript config

{
      "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES2022",
        "module": "NodeNext",
        "moduleResolution": "node",

Error message

$ tsc
src/lib/database.ts:2:26 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'lowdb/node' or its corresponding type declarations.

Expected behaviour

The message should not be shown and the app should run.

I don't know if this is a duplicate of #554 but this has never happend to me before.

I think it's probably related to the config. I have a working app with lowdb v6, TS v5, node v19.9.0 and the following config:

{
  "extends": "@sindresorhus/tsconfig",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "incremental": true,
    "outDir": "./lib",
    "skipLibCheck": true
  }
}

If you can't change your config, you can have a look at the workaround in #554

BTW, it's because lowdb uses this https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#subpath-exports
