Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Mostly clear
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: nodejs, typescript, vite
Domain: backend, build-system

Research direction

Start with the Vite reproduction, including mains.ts and tsconfig.json extending @vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.dom.json, and run npm dev with verbatimModuleSyntax enabled. Trace the jsonwebtoken decode import and verify that the runtime error no longer occurs under the listed package versions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When the verbatimModuleSyntax typescript compiler option is set to true, the import of jsonwebtoken raise an error on runtime Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'from')

In my tsconfig.json file, I extend the @vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.dom.json file. The verbatimModuleSyntax comes from here.

Reproduction

Create a new project with Vite with Vue
import jsonwebtoken @types/jsonwebtoken @vue/tsconfig librairies
In the mains.ts file, add import { decode } from "jsonwebtoken";
In tsconfig.json file, add "extends": "@vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.dom.json"
Run npm dev
