Now I try to clone the repository and build it from source rather than running npm i @simonbuchan/users...

Indeed it is required a

node-gyp configure

before

npm run build

[giuliohome]

OK finally installed using the path to the cloned repo and all through an admin cmd.

[giuliohome]

Still not working on the target repository, not sure why....

copied binding.gyp from the cloned repo to the target and npm i node-addon-api installed there, finally node-gyp configure done there.

Furthermore npm install searches for users.cc, so I copy it too: ok it works so.

But compilation of my target server.ts still still fails!

src/server.ts:5:29 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@simonbuchan/users' or its corresponding type declarations.

and if I try npm i lib\native-users-node:

why the error?

[giuliohome]

"node-gyp": "^3.8.0", this must be upgraded, node-gyp is at 8.4.0!

Manually updated this package.json.
npm install lib/native-users-node works and it produces

  "dependencies": {
    "@simonbuchan/users": "file:lib/native-users-node",

But how do I import it from my local cloned native-users-node into my node server backend project?

import {impersonateLoggedOnUser, revertToSelf} from '@simonbuchan/users';
or
import {impersonateLoggedOnUser, revertToSelf} from 'lib/native-users-node';

does not npm run compile :

error TS2307: Cannot find module '@simonbuchan/users' or its corresponding type declarations.
or
error TS2307: Cannot find module 'lib/native-users-node' or its corresponding type declarations.

Is it
import usernodes = require('lib/native-users-node/build/Release/users.node');
or
import usersnode = require('.\\build\\Release\\users.node');
?

No luck till now :-(

[giuliohome]

const { impersonateLoggedOnUser, revertToSelf} = require('F:\\Apps\\ng\\angular-sso-example\\back\\build\\Release\\users.node');

does compile!

Solved my issue!
