Could not Import moment in Nestjs application

Question

Could not use moment methods like moment().utc().format() shows below error message.

TS2349: This expression is not callable.
Type 'typeof import("/nxdev/unified-ai/node_modules/moment/ts3.1- 
typings/moment.d.ts")' has no call signatures.

I tried to import moment as

import * as moment from 'moment';

moment version: 2.29.4
node version: 18.14.0.

try to import it this way `const moment = require('moment');` — Ahmed Sbai, Jul 17 '23 at 12:38

according to this section in the Typescript docs

When exporting a module using export =, TypeScript-specific import module = require("module") must be used to import the module.

so here since they are exporting with export = in the provided package you have to import this way

const moment = require('moment');
