verbatimModuleSyntax destructure
🕗 Version & Regression Information
- This changed between versions 5.5 and 5.6.
⏯ Playground Link
💻 Code
// file.cjs
const { readFile } = require('node:fs')
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"checkJs": true,
"module": "preserve",
"noEmit": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"target": "esnext",
"types": ["node"],
"verbatimModuleSyntax": true,
}
}
🙁 Actual behavior
When verbatimModuleSyntax is enabled and module is set to preserve, TypeScript disallows destructuring of a required module in CommonJS JavaScript.
