TypeError: fileHandle.stat is not a function means Deno is not compatible with the package?

I was trying to use twitter-api-v2 npm package and upload media to the tweet but couldn't

I wasn't able to find the answer to your question in the official Deno documentation. However, based on the error message you've provided, it seems like you're trying to use a method that doesn't exist on the fileHandle object within the context of Deno. The twitter-api-v2 package you mentioned is an npm package, which is designed to work with Node.js. Deno does not natively support npm packages because it uses a different module system and does not have the same built-in APIs as Node.js. This could be the reason why you're encountering the TypeError: fileHandle.stat is not a function error. If you're trying to use an npm package in Deno, you would typically need to find a Deno-compatible module or use a compatibility layer like npm:twitter-api-v2 with Deno's Node compatibility mode. However, please note that not all npm packages will work perfectly with Deno, even with the compatibility mode, especially if they rely on Node-specific APIs that have no equivalent in Deno. The advice provided here is not based on the Deno documentation, and I recommend double-checking the accuracy of this advice and exploring Deno's official resources or community channels for more guidance on how to work with npm packages or alternatives within Deno.
