Typescript: GatewayIntentBits is not exported

[armin-salihovic]

Which package is this bug report for?

discord.js

Issue description

I am trying to use discord.js with TypeScript. However, I am unable to import GatewayIntentBits. My IDE is complaining that the element has not been exported. Is passing gateway intents as strings instead of using the enum the only option in typescript?

Minimal code in a .ts file:

import { Client, GatewayIntentBits } from 'discord.js';

const client = new Client({ intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildPresences,
]});

and my tsconfig:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "target": "es2022",
    "allowJs": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "moduleDetection": "force",
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "verbatimModuleSyntax": true,
    "module": "es2022"
  }
}

You need to review your tsconfig.json, specifically moduleResolution. You may want node16. You may also want strict.
