Typescript: Cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature. Type 'typeof Swal' has no compatible call signatures

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior

I’m using sweetalert2 with Angular and have this error when I try to compile something like swal("Some text")on Angular 7.2.9:

error TS2349: Cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature. 
Type 'typeof Swal' has no compatible call signatures.

before in Angular 6.0.3 it was working right.

I’m importing it like this:

import swal from "sweetalert2";

Expected behavior

It should compile.

Hi @francovp the API to call swal changed recently in version 8.x. You now need to use Swal.fire(). If you are using latest version, then can you try with that?

Never upgrade dependencies to new major versions without checking the release notes 😃
