[bug]: TS error: saveObjects method is missing from SearchIndex type

[aqandrew]

Description

We have a Next.js/DatoCMS site with TypeScript, in the process of adding Algolia search.

Following this guide, which provides a JS code example: https://www.datocms.com/blog/algolia-nextjs-how-to-add-algolia-instantsearch#build-a-next-js-api-to-upload-your-data-to-your-algolia-index

When converted to TypeScript, TS says that SearchIndex does not have a property named saveObjects.

Reproduced here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-w8v8abc6?file=src%2Falgolia-sync.ts

Client

All

Version

4.14.2

Relevant log output

Property 'saveObjects' does not exist on type 'SearchIndex'.(2339)

Nevermind--the error disappears if algoliasearch is imported from algoliasearch instead of algoliasearch/lite.
