Twitter Client Test Error

[serdarkaracay]

Very quick start test

twitterApi.js

import TwitterClient from "twitter-api-client";

//const TwitterClient = require("twitter-api-client");



const twitterApi = new TwitterClient({
  apiKey: "xxxx",
  apiSecret: "xxx",
  accessToken: "xxxx",
  accessTokenSecret: "xxxx",
  ttl: 120, // seconds. Defaults to 360
  disableCache: true, // Disables the caching behavior. Defaults to 'false'
  maxByteSize: 32000000, // Maximum (approximated) memory size for cache store. Defaults to 16000000.
});
const data = await twitterClient.accountsAndUsers.usersSearch({ q: 'twitterDev' });

node run command
node --experimental-modules twitterApi.js

Errors
TypeError: TwitterClient is not a constructor

const data = await twitterClient.accountsAndUsers.usersSearch({ q: 'twitterDev' });
^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word

Can you please add a simple test start code?

Hi @serdarkaracay
Thanks for creating this issue.

Yes, when you are using the require syntax, you are importing the entire module.
You need to use the default export, which is the class (constructor function).

const TwitterClient = require("twitter-api-client").default;

Using node v14.3.0 with require syntax, but still getting a not constructor error when adding .default.

Instead of this

const TwitterClient = require('twitter-api-client').default;

I have to do this

const TwitterClient = require('twitter-api-client').TwitterClient;
