Error: No "exports" main defined in myproject\node_modules\@adminjs\express\package.json

[NikhilRW]

Hi there when I use @adminjs/express in my following code it generates this error by the way I am using typescript

Code:

import AdminJSExpress from '@adminjs/express';
import AdminJS from 'adminjs';
import { Application } from 'express';
import PgAdapter from 'adminjs-drizzle/pg';
import * as schema from '@db/schema';
import db from '@/config/dbConfig';

const DEFAULT_ADMIN = {
  email: 'email',
  password: 'password',
};

export const authenticate = (email: string, password: string) => {
  if (email === DEFAULT_ADMIN.email && password === DEFAULT_ADMIN.password) {
    return Promise.resolve(DEFAULT_ADMIN);
  }
  return null;
};

export const setupAdminJs = async (app: Application) => {
  // Admin panel
  const admin = new AdminJS({
    databases: [{ db, schema }],
    rootPath: '/admin',
  });
  AdminJS.registerAdapter(PgAdapter);
  AdminJSExpress.buildRouter(admin, app);

  const adminRouterAuthenticated = AdminJSExpress.buildAuthenticatedRouter(
    admin,
    {
      authenticate,
      cookieName: 'adminjs',
      cookiePassword: 'sessionsecret',
    },
    null,
    {
      resave: true,
      saveUninitialized: true,
      secret: 'sessionsecret',
      cookie: {
        httpOnly: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
        secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
      },
      name: 'adminjs',
    },
  );

  const adminRouter = AdminJSExpress.buildRouter(admin);
  app.use(admin.options.rootPath, adminRouterAuthenticated);
};

Error:
