Earlier you might have been using constructor.name === "SceneNode" instead of constructor === scenegraph.SceneNode. Sorry, I should have mentioned that as a workaround in my last post.

Actually, just checked timeline, and I was using it successfully 8 months ago as

import { SceneNode } from 'scenegraph'

{shrug?}.

I donā€™t know if youā€™re using the Typescript Definitions?

If so, there was an issue with SceneNode being declared as a class (as it got documented this way, I actually today see this as an issue with the docs back then) in the definitions until a few months ago (then, I changed it to now change it back with it actually getting exported :rofl:).

Therefore, no errors got shown when importing it. However, its value then has been undefinedā€¦

Not not using Typescript, though Iā€™d love to. Just havenā€™t taken the plunge (since Iā€™ll then have to figure out/find definitions for everything else Iā€™m using).

At my next ā€œpause pointā€ I may try.

Iā€™m using the latest.

I tested it and it seems to be working but the error might be because Iā€™m using an older typescript definitions that @pklaschka mentioned he has updated but I have not updated. I have not updated because it was causing some other issues I donā€™t remember but the code is work now.

 const { SceneNode } = require("scenegraph");

 if (item instanceof SceneNode) { log("it is a scene node"); }

@peterflynn Should I use this instead:

if (node.constructor === scenegraph.SceneNode)
