No way to import types with Deno

[ChuckJonas]

Confirm this is a Node library issue and not an underlying OpenAI API issue

• This is an issue with the Node library

Describe the bug

Based on the docs, this library exposes the Request/Response types via the "default" namespace.

However, if I try to use the imports in my code, I get an error: Identifier expected.

I'm not 100% but it seems like maybe this is a reserved keyword that Deno doesn't support having as a namespace?

To Reproduce

1. create deno project
2. install v4.16.1
3. add this code:

import { type default } from "https://deno.land/x/openai@v4.16.1/mod.ts";
const { ChatCompletion } = default;

Code Sandbox Link (you might have to start typing to see error)

Code snippets

No response

OS

Node version

Library version

v4.16.1

Looks like the deno docs were just throwing me off.

You can import types like so:

import OpenAI from "openai";
export type ChatCompletion = OpenAI.Chat.Completions.ChatCompletion;
export type ChatCompletionOptions =
  OpenAI.Chat.Completions.ChatCompletionCreateParams;

Glad you figured this out!

OOC, which deno docs are you referring to?

[ChuckJonas]

@rattrayalex these docs that I assume are autogenerated via static analysis by deno?

Trying to assign the type to a const should have been enough to realize there's something wrong, but I somehow missed that...

[rattrayalex]

Ah, I see, thank you for sharing that – I wasn't aware Deno generated docs like that. I'll see if there's something to be done about that.

EDIT: I've filed denoland/website_feedback#53

[ChuckJonas]

oh, I also opened a ticket but on the deno_doc repo: denoland/deno_doc#395

I'm actually not sure this is actually the related repo though...

Ah, yours is more likely to be the correct location, well done. Added a pointer.
