Property 'red' does not exist on type '{ enabled: any; }'.

I’m using chalk with vscode and getting these warning errors below:

Property 'red' does not exist on type '{ enabled: any; }'.

it’s a pretty simple thing i’m building:

const chalk = require("chalk")
let cmd = 'something'
console.log(chalk.yellow(cmd))

I wonder if there is some definition/typings file (for JS) or some other magic that’s going on that is confusing the VSCode typechecking?

tried using the following, which does work:

import chalk from 'chalk';

if you are using import * as chalk from 'chalk'

then chalk.default.yellow(cmd) will work
