Definitelytyped: [@types/animejs] Import issue.

[infacto]

I can't import the default export. Import all-from does not work in this case.

works on runtime, but types error. (default import)

import anime from 'animejs';

does not work on runtime, but no errors with types.

import * as anime from 'animejs';

import anime =  require('animejs');

should work, the import anime from 'animejs' shold work if esModuleInterop is enabled in tsconfig.json. The module definition looks ok for me.
Is that CommonJS or ES module?

Same problem, Could not find declaration file for module 'animejs'. despite having the same packages as @infacto.
Tried both possible ways of importing ES6 module:

import anime from 'animejs';
import anime from 'animejs/lib/anime.es.js';

and both throws the same error. esModuleInterop is enabled and all of the other @types packages work without any problems.

folks, I really cannot see the issue when using general import (both CommonJS/ES2015):

import anime from 'animejs';

I think the direct import of module (import anime from 'animejs/lib/anime) is not suppported by this definition.

If you have problem using this specific type definition with your TS configuration, please make sure you post relevant TS configuration here.
One could figure out what is TSC is doing by asking to retrace resolution paths, for example with that package I've done this:

npx tsc --pretty --listFiles --traceResolution

here you can see relevant information about TSC finding proper types when using my local TS config (worked both for CommonJS and ES2015 targets), your local output could differ depending on settings.

Thanks for fast response @peterblazejewicz, i'm going to work on finding out what part of my project is the problem and i'll report back.

Edit:
Ok, for me the error was appearing in .vue files and not in .ts files. I reinstalled the whole package.json, switched the vetur.validation.script option in .vscode/settings.json off and back on and now the error is gone. No idea what happened but it's definitely nothing connected to @types/animejs. Sorry for the mess and thanks for the assistance.

@Oloro thx for update!
