Tons of errors for me

I’m at esnext, "typescript": "^3.9.2", "ts-loader": "^7.0.4" - let me know if you need anything else.

Do you need types for these libraries?

Probably not. tbh I’m very new to the Javascript world and am just learning everything. Your plugin manager is fantastic and just what I was looking for but finding the right framework for integrating it has been an issue for me. Frankly the loaders and dev environment are not what I want. I will switch to express and managing things myself along with your plugin manager. That will remove any of these incompatibilities - I’ll just get webpack, ts-loader and babel out of the way and rely on pure Javascript for plugins. I can still write my own code in Typescript with tsc.

The following configurations works fine:

package.json

{
  "name": "test-lpm",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^13.13.2",
    "typescript": "^3.8.3"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "live-plugin-manager": "^0.14.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
  }
}

index.ts

import {PluginManager} from "live-plugin-manager";
const p = new PluginManager();
p.install('moment')

I have tried with your dependencies and I have the same errors. I suspect that there is some incompatible library. I will try to investigate further…
