Cannot use croner along with this package as Cron function not exported (The inferred type of ... cannot be named without a reference to '@elysiajs/cron/node_modules/croner')

[recanman]

When I try to use croner (a dependency) along with @elysiajs/cron, I get this type error:

The inferred type of ... cannot be named without a reference to '@elysiajs/cron/node_modules/croner'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.ts(2742)

This is expected, as the package depends on the return type of the Cron function from croner.

Here is the patch I'm using at the moment:

diff --git a/dist/index.d.ts b/dist/index.d.ts
index 0bb13ca04b916b86c783b1d14e8699d957bb6743..89f94bf6079e0a61de0410e61aefe272d3beb17c 100644

 import { Elysia } from 'elysia';
 import { Cron, type CronOptions } from 'croner';
+export {Cron as __cron}
+
 export interface CronConfig<Name extends string = string> extends CronOptions {
     /**
      * Input pattern, input date, or input ISO 8601 time string

I am not sure whether this is the best approach. As such, I created an issue, not a PR. Would appreciate some feedback on this.

I also encountered this issue. @recanman's patch fixed it for me.

Same here, had to install same version (croner@6.0.7) and re-export the type as workaround.

// FIXME: type error when building: https://github.com/elysiajs/elysia-cron/issues/54
//  error TS2742: The inferred type of 'app' cannot be named without a reference to '.pnpm/croner@6.0.7/node_modules/croner'.

export type { Cron } from "croner";
