Types provided don't seem to work

We can’t get our previously working code to work with the new types provided.

import * as sizeof from 'object-sizeof'; results in error TS2349: Cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature. Type 'typeof 'object-sizeof'' has no compatible call signatures. at compile time, but…

import sizeof from 'object-sizeof'; results in object_sizeof_1.default is not a function at runtime.

I’ve gotten it to work, but had to make a couple of changes. I’m not sure if there’s an easier/better way to do this.

I changed the types declaration to

declare module 'object-sizeof' {
    /**
     * Calculates Bytes for the provided parameter
     *
     * @param object The given object/string/boolean/buffer
     * @returns The size
     */
    function sizeof<T>(object: T): number;

    export = sizeof;
}

Note export = instead of default.

But then my import has to be changed to the TS-only:

import sizeof = require('object-sizeof');

Maybe this is the only way to do it? I don’t know enough about TypeScript to be sure.

Does not work with the same ts(2349) error:

Cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature. Type 'typeof import("object-sizeof")' has no compatible call signatures.
