How to import forge sha256 hash function on my Typescript Create React App project?

For reference, I am using React 16.9.0 and Typescript 3.5.3.

On this question Are there any SHA-256 javascript implementations that are generally considered trustworthy?, I learned about the forge node application to create 256 hashes from strings.

Here, you can find the implementation and usage of the sha256 function:

  1. https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge/blob/master/lib/sha256.js
  2. https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge#sha256

However, I cannot manage to import it on my create-react-app project with Typescript.

I installed the forge library with these commands:

npm install node-forge
npm install @types/node-forge

And when I try to import it, Typescript keeps telling me:

TypeScript error in /src/App.tsx(2,10):
Module '"node-forge"' has no exported member 'forge'.  TS2305

    1 | import React from 'react';
  > 2 | import { forge } from 'node-forge';
      |          ^
    3 | import './App.css';
    4 |

How can I correctly import the forge hash library in my create-react-app project, so I can create a hash with this:

var md = forge.md.sha256.create();
md.update('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog');
console.log(md.digest().toHex());
// output: d7a8fbb307d7809469ca9abcb0082e4f8d5651e46d3cdb762d02d0bf37c9e592

What about import forge from 'node-forge' or import * as forge from "node-forge"; . Or you just use different library. For instance: bcrypt
