import stripe using node js + typescript

You can refer to the repo on GitHub: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node

import Stripe from 'stripe';

const stripe = new Stripe('sk_test_...', {
  apiVersion: '2020-08-27',
});

const createCustomer = async () => {
  const params: Stripe.CustomerCreateParams = {
    description: 'test customer',
  };

  const customer: Stripe.Customer = await stripe.customers.create(params);

  console.log(customer.id);
};
createCustomer();

As of stripe 8.0.1 the package has its own typeing so it is not necessary to install additional types. Just import it like this:

import Stripe from 'stripe';

Update: The solution below is outdated and for those using [email protected] or greater the answer from David Dehghan should be used.

As britzkopf said, stripe don't provide their own definitions yet (and probably never will), but you can use the type definitions from @types/stripe.

npm install stripe @types/stripe

And then import and construct the Stripe class as follows.

import * as Stripe from 'stripe';
const stripe = new Stripe('xxx_xxx_xxx');

If you want finer grained imports for some reason you can use this (somewhat hacky) approach instead.

import { resources } from 'stripe';
const stripeData = require('stripe')('xxx_xxx_xxx');
const customers = new resources.Customers(stripeData, null);

I had the same problem and the solution provided did not work for me:

import * as Stripe from 'stripe';
const stripe = new Stripe('xxx_xxx_xxx');

Using this approach, I got this error

[ts] Cannot use 'new' with an expression whose type lacks a call or construct signature. stripe.ts(1, 1): Type originates at this import. A namespace-style import cannot be called or constructed, and will cause a failure at runtime. Consider using a default import or import require here instead. (alias) class Stripe (alias) namespace Stripe import Stripe

I got it working using "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true in tsconfig.json With this compile option, the following is valid in TypeScript:

import Stripe from "stripe";

const secret = process.env.STRIPE_SECRET!;
export const stripe = new Stripe(secret);

It's a feature request. Go give it another thumbs up.

From the official documentation:

import Stripe from 'stripe';
const stripe = new Stripe('sk_test_...');
