How do I import Pixi.js into a TypeScript project?

I'm new to Pixi.js but I have some past experience with TypeScript. I'm really struggling to import Pixi.js into my project.
I got a small Pixi.js project running using a CDN import of Pixi and vanilla JavaScript, and now I'm trying to get that same project running on TypeScript. I think one of my options would be to use the CDN import of Pixi and then import the type definitions for Pixi, but I read in several places that the later versions of Pixi are already written in TypeScript, so I don't think it's a good option for me to use a JavaScript version of the library and then import my own TypeScript definitions.
I tried using npm install pixi.js and then import * as PIXI from "pixi.js"; but that gives me this TypeScript error:
This module is declared with using 'export =', and can only be used with a default import when using the 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports' flag.
and it also gives me this browser error when I force it to compile anyway:
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "pixi.js". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".
This error makes sense to me, because clearly telling the browser to find pixi.js will result in no file being found, since it's a Node.js module.
I tried changing import * as PIXI from "pixi.js"; to import PIXI from "pixi.js"; to get rid of the "only use default import" error, but that just gives me a "pixi.js has no default export" error, which seems to be in direct contrast with the error I was getting before, saying that it only has a default export...
And even if I manage to get rid of the TypeScript errors, I still can't wrap my head around how this would function properly anyway since the browser has no idea what "pixi.js" is when it's referring to a Node module that doesn't even exist inside the browser...
So all of this leads me to my question of how do I get a Pixi.js program running with TypeScript? I've looked up tutorials many times but every single one includes something like Webpack, Browserify, etc. I would not like to use any bundlers/other dependencies at all, I simply want to write TypeScript code, compile it, and have it give me some .js files that I can pop directly into a .html file and run in my browser. Is this possible?
My findings thus far have been that what I'm looking for is (somehow) not possible. I've found that my options are either to import the vanilla JavaScript version of Pixi and just go without type information (and do some hacky workarounds to get TypeScript to not think PIXI is undefined), or use a bundler like Webpack. Neither of those are ideal, and I have to think there's another option...

It would depend on your setup, but you could try something like this:
import { Sprite } from '#pixi/sprite';
new Sprite()
or you could try importing all as PIXI like this
import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
new PIXI.Sprite()

You must have figured this out but still I want this answer to be here for other to see.
This is my demo project on github that you can clone and use. It has typescript and pixi.js installed. THIS PROJECT USES VITE instead of webpack which is very complicated.
pxts :pixi.js setup library
Some of things you must keep in mind
Pixi.js version 6 has typescript types bundled along.
Most of the examples on line are old and out of date
Latest pixi version is v 7.x for which there is no community support yet.
link for version 6.5.8 docs
While working with version 6.x you have to install Assets separately where as in Version 7.x its bundled in.
OLD AND OUT OF DATE TUTORIALS ONLINE is the main reason for confusion. Do check which version you have got installed.

React Native: Convert an Expo bare project to a pure react native app

TL;DR
Similar questions have been asked before on SO (such as Convert Expo project to Original React Native project, Commands to use after converting from expo to react-native-cli, and Expo to react native init) but none of them explain how to completely remove all Expo modules and dependencies from my project, so that I end up with a pure React Native app (the same as if I had run react-native init... in the first place).
So is it possible to remove all of this extra crap that I never asked for or expected to be installed, with one simple command? MTIA! :-)
Background
Basically I got into this mess by ejecting from a managed Expo project, then customising the android folder a lot before realising that my build/install times were ludicrously slow.
So to fix this, I ran yarn global add depcheck and depcheck, which suggested that I could/should remove all of the following packages (the most seemingly-important ones are marked with an asterisk):
expo-updates*
filtrex
firebase-admin
lodash
mathjs
moment
native-base
nodemailer
react-native-android-location-enabler
react-native-credit-card-input
react-native-document-picker
react-native-fast-image
react-native-geolocation-service
react-native-image-crop-picker
react-native-js-bottom-sheet
react-native-reanimated
react-native-signature-capture
react-native-unimodules*
react-native-web
react-timer-mixin
recyclerlistview
shortid
stripe-client
styled-system
#babel/core
#react-native-community/eslint-config
babel-jest
jest
prettier
react-test-renderer
So I blindly ran yarn remove ... on all of those packages, and now I get a ton of errors on attempting to build. I won't list them here since it's obvious that they're mostly (if not entirely) related to the expo-updates and react-native-unimodules packages marked above.
I'm not explicitly using anything Expo-related in my code, so this should be a cake walk IMO, but is proving to be quite difficult!
So how can I remove this extra cruft properly? Do I need to start fresh with react-native init? MTIA :-)

Ejected expo projects needs unimodules to function properly.so i don't think there is a simple command that does everything you asked for. You can follow some steps to get it working.
Branch out for safety.
Eject, check if it is working and commit.
Delete all except .git folder in the project(also can keep a copy of .git somewhere else if project is not stored remotely).
Do initiate a bare react-native project to the same folder(have to do it from parent folder with same project name as the current project folder name, it will prompt the folder is not empty. choose to continue).
Discard the deletion of the files with your Codes.
Add packages that use in project(for expo packages, find replacement packages. Most probably will be mentioned in expo documentation).
Run Project, (might get some missing dependencies.if so, add and rerun)

I have finally acheived this almost 6 hours later by:
Creating a new React Native app from scratch (react-native init MyAppName).
Finding replacements for all the Expo modules that were being used (not by me directly, but by other packages).
Reconfiguring my Firebase project to play nice with the app (particularly the SHA keys).
Uninstalling the old app, installing the new and clearing caches for the "new" app (I say "new" because I didn't expect this step to be necessary, but somehow, for some stupid reason, Android was trying to use the old, cached app files).
The last step was absolutely crucial; it took me about 2 hours of head scratching and screaming at the PC before I finally stumbled upon this: React Native white blank screen issue. Many thanks to #DiwakarPrasad for this absolute gem of knowledge!

How do I get my ember.js app to import modules installed from bower or npm

I'm pretty new to some of this stuff and I feel like I must just be missing something simple. I have a very basic Ember.js app that I created with the CLI tool flowing the guide. The code is at https://github.com/nfriedly/particle-webhook-manager
It has a couple of routes and components, and a single third-party dependency, particle-api-js. I installed it twice, via bower and npm, and I'm importing it in one of my components like so:
import particle from 'particle-api-js';
I start up my server with ember serve and it builds successfully. I then open my browser to http://localhost:4200/login where I load the component and it gives me the following error in my console:
Error: Could not find module `particle-api-js` imported from `particle-webhook-manager/components/login-form`
So, my main question is: what am I doing wrong here/how do I make it work?
My secondary question is: why did it "build" successfully and then throw a runtime error for the missing module - shouldn't it have found that in the build stage?

You should not use bower anymore. Use ember browserify to import things installed with npm.
You can import bower modules in your ember-cli-build.js with app.import('bower_components/...js').
You can not import them directly, but you can create a vendor shim to provide this for you. Checkout the ember-cli documentation for this.

Using Redux in Meteor.js

I'm a newbie to Meteor.js and working on a project where I'm also using Redux so I added the kyutaekang:redux package. The problem is that I don't know how to import Redux to use it. I tried:
import { createStore } from 'redux';,
but when I start the app I get
[Error: Unable to fetch "redux". Only file URLs of the form file:/// allowed running in Node.].

Meteor does not yet support the ES2015 import out of the box (might be available in 1.3.0). Therefore, you will need a modern module bundler, as also described in the package's Readme file:
This assumes that you’re using npm package manager with a module bundler like Webpack or Browserify to consume CommonJS modules.
You can take a look at this excellent example by Adam Brodzinski to get you started.
Edit:
After taking a closer look at the package, it does not seem to contain any code.
Nonetheless, my recommendation about Adam's repo (or his other repo, pointed in the comments) still remains as a nice, clean implementation.

When it comes to using react with yeoman

There are a ton of packages out there that have this all bundled up but I dont like the way they set up the projects and such so I was reading the Reactjs docs on installing with npm and my confusion is:
After installing it using npm install react or adding react to
package.json
Do I add this to the "devDependencies": {} or ...
for the require statement to work, do I need to include requirejs?
Can I just do grunt serv to start everything and auto compile the jsx or do I need to do this? (it seems like that might be answered for me ..... but how can I get it to auto compile the jsx when I run grunt serv)
I ask these questions and state I don't like the existing yo ... commands for this because they don't play nicely with bacbone.js So I was going to set this up my self. if there are any repos out there for yeoman that do this for me please point me to them.

dependencies vs devDependencies: for npm package.json, devDependencies are mainly used for the tooling around working on the project itself: testing tool chain and project building modules, for example. Things you'd often see in there: Mocha, Grunt, etc. So mostly for repo contributors and alike. As a consumer of React, you'd put it in dependencies, which are for modules that your code actually needs in order to work.
require isn't for requirejs. The naming clash is unfortunate. require() is part of CommonJS. Node uses CommonJS. Browserify too. Here, it's assuming that you're using Browserify, or maybe doing server-side React with Node.
I'm not sure what you've set up to use with grunt serve. There's nothing magical that makes it work by default. You do need to do what the link said. The --watch option will look for changes to your files and auto compile the jsx to js.
Hope that helps!
