EXPORT not working in ts file node app deployed in pm2

Question

I'm having the following error while deploying my application in pm2. This error appears in the Prisma.ts file.

05-12-2018 15:53:34: export interface Query {
05-12-2018 15:53:34: ^^^^^^

Please help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you have syntax error in code, please check your code properly — Aabid, Dec 05 '18 at 10:08
@aa I think its an another issue, as its a type script file with .ts extn, the error comes after import '{'. — Niks, Dec 05 '18 at 10:16
You are getting same error when you are running application without pm2 — Aabid, Dec 05 '18 at 10:21
i don't have idea about `prisma` but according to your `typescript` code is node converted in the `javascript` thats why you are getting this error. — Aabid, Dec 05 '18 at 12:34

The issue was the I was not using the complied file(.js) instead i was using the (.ts) file and trying to host in node package.

The trick here was to use a typescript compiler and convert the .ts file to .js and everything worked for me.

Note: use tsc in VS code to do the conversion.
