The requested module 'chai' does not provide an export named 'chai'

[dkebler]

chai 5.1.2

Documentation is outdated says chai is export of chai but it is not, it is also no longer a default so can't grab it that way

How to receareate pre 5 syntax?

this fails

import { expect, chai } from 'chai';
import assertArrays from 'chai-arrays'

chai.use(assertArrays)

The requested module 'chai' does not provide an export named 'chai'

import chai, { expect } from 'chai';

SyntaxError: The requested module 'chai' does not provide an export named 'default'

I found the answer in an issue.

import { expect, use as chaiuse } from 'chai';
import assertArrays from 'chai-arrays'
chaiuse(assertArrays)

please update your docs for 5
