Add `typesVersion` with minimum TypeScript version

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title
• I have searched existing issues to ensure the bug has not already been reported

Mongoose version

6.6.5

Node.js version

16.16.0

MongoDB server version

6.0.2 (not required)

Description

I’ve experienced an issue with mongoose above version 6.6.3. When I try to build a project that uses mongoose in version 6.6.4 or higher I receive:

When I switched to 6.6.3 the issue does not occur. My TS config:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "rootDir": "./src",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "lib": [
      "es2021",
      "dom"
    ],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "target": "es2021",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "allowJs": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "composite": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "include": [
        "src/**/*"
    ]
  }
}

As I briefly checked, the pointed places seem to be syntactically correct so the issue is a bit awkward for me. I’d be grateful for a hint if an issue is on my side.

Steps to Reproduce

Just run tsc --build for a project that uses mongoose.

Expected Behavior

The project is built correctly.

It appears, if a typesVersions were added to mongoose / package.json, probably similar to:

  "typesVersions": {
    ">=4.8.4": { "*": "./types/index.d.ts"] }
  }

It would produce the following error using the package with a unsupported version. And the error message appears to be improvable.

"'package.json' does not have a 'typesVersions' entry that matches version '{0}'."

Oh although i had ts v4.8.4 installed it was still using v4.6.2 for compilation. That fixed it. Sry, Thank

I ran into the same issue. I had Typescript 4.8.4 installed globally but in a monorepo package.json there was 4.6.2, which needed to change to.

  "devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "4.8.4"
  },

This is a really obscure requirement to find, Perhaps the Typescript minimum version could be placed README or similar to help distribute this info?
