Error message using the Jira connector / Sharepoint SPFx

[iuaj7]

Hi,
I tried to use the Jira connector in a Sharepoint SPFx webpart (Typescript, React).

Environment:
npm is version 6.8.0, tsc is version 3.7.3

First I installed using "npm install jira-connector". Output is:

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.11 (node_modules\fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.2.11: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

• jira-connector@3.1.0
  added 7 packages from 7 contributors and audited 107580 packages in 37.247s
  found 812 vulnerabilities (250 low, 28 moderate, 529 high, 5 critical)

package.json is:
...
"jira-connector": "^3.1.0"

The import statement is "import JiraClient from 'jira-connector';"
Code after authentication is:
"const issue = await jira.issue.getIssue({ issueKey: "JWR-19" });"

When I run "gulp serve" the following error message is displayed:

Error - typescript - node_modules\jira-connector\types\callback.d.ts(0,27): error TS1005: ',' expected.

callback.d.ts:
export type Callback<TData = any> = (err: any, data: TData) => void;

Any ideas whats wrong? My fault? Have I missed something?

Hi, @iuaj7, can you create a template repo with this error?

[iuaj7]

@MrRefactoring I uploaded the files to "iuaj7/HelloSharepointJira"
without the node_modules directory

[MrRefactoring]

Sorry, but there are no files. Check it one more time :)

Try import * as JiraClient from 'jira-connector';. Let me know if this helps.

With the modified import statement the "jira = new JiraClient(..." gives me the following error message:

[ts] Cannot use 'new' with an expression whose type lacks a call or construct signature.

Found something. Sharepoint Developer Framework SPFx uses an older Typescript version
"[10:44:26] [typescript] TypeScript version: 2.2.2". Seems that SPFx has some internal dependencies and cannot switch to the latest tsc version.

Good job @iuaj7. Can you give me PR to fix it?

@MrRefactoring Sorry, but I do not have a solution for the problem. I just identified a possible reason why it is not working. It seems to be a version conflict with the Sharepoint "package.json" dependencies.
The problem is similar to using "jquery" with SPFx:

Any updates on this? I ran into a similar error and can´t use the JiraConnector in my SPFx project. Here´s my error message:

Error - [webpack] 'dist': ./node_modules/jira-connector/api/auth.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in 'C:/GIT/MyProject/SPFx/MyWebPart/node_modules/jira-connector/api' resolve 'fs' in 'C:/GIT/MyProject/SPFx/MyWebPart/node_modules/jira-connector/api'

It seems to me that if you want to use this extension to work on your site, then you cannot do it. I would look towards jira.js
