This guide will walk you through the steps to reproduce the TypeScript compilation error when using the viem library.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.

function greet(name: string): string {
    console.log( createPublicClient);
    console.log(  createWalletClient);
    
    return `Hello, ${name}!`;
    
}

const personName: string = "John";
console.log(greet(personName));

Create a tsconfig.json file with the following configuration:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
        "newLine": "lf",

        "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
        "noUnusedParameters": true,
        "strict": true,
        "target": "ES2019",
