I’ve found solution. I added mainFields: ['module', 'browser', 'main'] field in my webpack config, because in your lib’s package.json you have this line - module": "src/sweetalert2.js"

Thanks for the repo @nixta purplecandle!

The reason is that you’re setting "strict": true in your tsconfig. Add "noImplicitAny": false or any other solution from https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/15031

The behavior doesn’t make much sense to me as well as to many commenters from https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/15031 but it is what it is 🤷‍♂️
