Incompatibility with typescript 6/7 #2248
Description
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/namespaces-and-modules.html
Apparently in typescript 6 and 7 (from 7.0.0-dev.20260222.1 onwards) dexie@4.3.0 (and probably many previous versions) is not longer valid. We are now getting the following errors:
error TS1540: A 'namespace' declaration should not be declared using the 'module' keyword. Please use the 'namespace' keyword instead.
According to a typescript maintainer, this is silenceable in 6 but from now on will error in 7. From what I can tell, this is probably what Note: In very old versions of TypeScript namespaces were called ‘Internal Modules’, these pre-date JavaScript module systems. is referring to, and this might be because the typescript for this was written a long time ago?
In any case, the typescript maintainer is pretty adamant that is something that will need to be fixed in dexie. If you agree, I'll submit a patch to simply use namespace instead of module in the offending places in the codebase.
