BN re-export failure #267
Description
Hello! I'm not being able to use the reexported version of BN.js from TypeScript due to how the export is defined. I'm using the 7.0.3 release.
Example code:
import { BN } from 'ethereumjs-util';
function hexStringIsZero(hexNumber: string): boolean {
return new BN(hexNumber, 'hex').isZero();
}Printed error plus suggested fix:
../core/src/Foo.ts:51:14 - error TS2351: This expression is not constructable.
Type 'typeof BN' has no construct signatures.
51 return new BN(hexNumber, 'hex').isZero();
~~
../core/node_modules/ethereumjs-util/dist/externals.d.ts:6:1
6 import * as BN from 'bn.js';
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
