How do I get WebStorm to correctly see a packages functions?

I have tried everything I can think of to get WebStorm to include the JOI package in my node.js project without throwing inspection warnings when I use its function. It works fine the way I have it written and causes no runtime errors. I have tried updating it, as well as explicitly installing it in "Preferences > Languages and Frameworks > Javascript > Libraries"

All of my other libraries I have installed through NPM behave fine and do not cause any inspector errors. However a simple statement liek

joi.string()

Causes an "Unresolved function or method string()" warning

How do I get rid of this? I have a whole file of validation so ignoring this line by line is not an options.

I have tried this with both the older and latest version of joi. The older version looks as follows:

const joi = require('joi');
const format = joi.string();

The newer version is:

const joi = require('@hapi/joi');
const format = joi.string();

Both behaved the exact same way within WebStorm and raised an inspection warning.

Possible Solution

I found the following github issue: DefinitelyTyped#35440 that should be related to your problem.

Please install the newest @types for the @hapi/joi package with:

npm install --save @types/hapi__joi
