Module '"hono"' declares 'Hono' locally, but it is not exported.

Hi im trying to setup hono with remix, and i keep getting typescript error
Module '"hono"' declares 'Hono' locally, but it is not exported.

look like it caused by compilerOptions.moduleResolutions but if i changed it my remix import just break (import with tsconfigpaths broken or some modules not found)
am still not pretty sure what happened

Step to Reproduce

1. install default remix app

pnpm create remix@latest hono-remix

2. add hono

cd hono-remix
pnpm add hono@latest

3. Import hono

import {Hono} from 'hono'

this is how tsconfig.ts,
just default remix

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "lib": [
            "dom",
            "dom.iterable",

        ],
        "types": [
            "@remix-run/node",
            "vite/client"
        ],

            "~/*": [
                "./app/*"
            ]
        },
        "noEmit": true
    },
    "files": [
        "./tailwind.config.ts",
        "./vite.config.ts",
        "./hono/index.ts",
        "./app/entry.client.tsx",
        "./app/entry.server.tsx",
        "./app/root.tsx",
        "./app/routes/_index.tsx"
    ],
    "include": [
        "**/*.ts",
        "**/*.tsx",
        "**/.server/**/*.ts",
        "**/.server/**/*.tsx",
        "**/.client/**/*.ts",
        "**/.client/**/*.tsx"
    ]
}

Depedencies

• hono:v4.6.10
• @remix-run/node:v2.14.0
• vite:v5.10
• typescript:v5.1.6

Anyone had simillar issue? thanks

Do you have type: module in all your package.json files? I don't think hono works in combination with commonjs and module: node16. So just to exclude this issue double check that your project is esm based.

Having this issue, fixed by putting my server folder inside of Remix's /app directory as a hidden folder (name starts with '.')
