Module '"@nestjs/config"' has no exported member 'ConfigModule'

Question

I'm using NestJS,I installed @nestjs/config module using the command :

npm i --save @nestjs/config 

I got this error : Module '"@nestjs/config"' has no exported member 'ConfigModule'

this is my code in app.module file :

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { AuthModule } from './auth/auth.module';
import { UserModule } from './user/user.module';
import { BookmarkModule } from './bookmark/bookmark.module';
import { PrismaModule } from './prisma/prisma.module';
import { ConfigModule } from '@nestjs/config';

@Module({
  imports: [ConfigModule, AuthModule, UserModule, BookmarkModule, PrismaModule],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}

Answer 2

If the problem persist after applying @Wahéb answer, try:

• on Windows: Shift + Ctrl + p -> Restart TS server
• on Mac: Cmd + Shift + p -> Restart TS server

After this, you should have ConfigModule imported correctly.

When installing ConfigModule, to make it detected, one should first stop the server, then install with "npm i --save @nestjs/config"
