TS2694: Namespace '/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/cheerio/dist/esm/index' has no exported member Element

[cdwmhcc]

Description

After upgrading from rc to 1.0.0, cheerio.Element is no longer valid. Now need to manually install domhandler and then import Element from domhandler

Example

Here's an example where the issue becomes apparent:

import * as cheerio from 'cheerio'

const $ = cheerio.load('<ul><li>hello</li></ul>')

// Type Element is missing the following properties from type Element:
// classList, className, clientHeight, clientLeft
// , and 157 more.
const ul: cheerio.Cheerio<Element> = $('ul')
test(ul)
function test(elements: cheerio.Cheerio<Element>) {}

pnpm i domhandler

import type { Element } from 'domhandler'
import * as cheerio from 'cheerio'

....

It works.

Suggested Solutions

It would be beneficial for developers if Cheerio could re-export the commonly used types from domhandler, such as Element. This would streamline the development process by reducing the need for additional imports and clarifying the source of types.
