[Solved] When using

import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

command, I get errors assigning values via a variable to my ec2 instanceType, but if I use the old format

const aws = require("@pulumi/aws")

the error goes away and my code runs just fine. Thoughts?

What error do you get?

I have

let size = "t2.micro"

and then calling that later as

instanceType: size

Yes - when you use

import

you get strong typing, when you use

require

you don’t get any type checking. In this case you can appease TypeScript by saying

let size: aws.ec2.InstanceType = “t2.micro”

.

aah, thank you. clearly I am new to both typescript & pulumi
