Error: ’Spinner’ only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.

I'm getting the above error, trying to use this package with typescript.

Here's an example of a file, spin.tsx, where I get the error:

import * as React from 'react';
import { Spinner } from 'react-spinkit'

export const MySpinner = () => <Spinner name="circle" />

And here are the relevant portions of my package.json:

{
  "name": "my package",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "enzyme": "^3.3.0",

Importing via import * as Spinner from 'react-spinkit' resolved this issue for me.

[alexisInowuDev]

var Spinner = require('react-spinkit');

this fixed it for me
