Typescript: globalThis, Unsafe assignment of an `any` value

Version 3.0.0-beta.9

I’m trying to patch the global object in typescript

import fetch from "node-fetch"

if (!globalThis.fetch) {
  globalThis.fetch = fetch
}

And I get this error

Type 'typeof fetch' is not assignable to type '(input: RequestInfo, init?: RequestInit | undefined) => Promise<Response>'.
  Types of parameters 'url' and 'input' are incompatible.
    Type 'RequestInfo' is not assignable to type 'import("node_modules/node-fetch/@types/index").RequestInfo'.
      Type 'Request' is not assignable to type 'RequestInfo'.
        Type 'Request' is missing the following properties from type 'Body': size, bufferts

use top level await with es6 modules and conditionally load node-fetch instead

if (!globalThis.fetch) {
  globalThis.fetch = await import('node-fetch').then(m => m.default)
}

still complains? use // @ts-ignore

Potentially something like this could work?

import fetch, { Headers, Request, Response } from 'node-fetch';

if (!('fetch' in globalThis)) {
  Object.assign(globalThis, { fetch, Headers, Request, Response })
}
