Issue

I am implementing a database deleteMany query in a NestJS repository class
I prefer declaring the return types explicitly on my methods
However when I defined Promise<DeleteResult> as return type for my method, I cannot find an exported member DeleteResult to import to my repository class file.
However, type inference shows that model.deleteMany({}).exec() returns that type from mongoose.

I wonder why this is the case as I can perfectly import UpdateWriteOpResult to check the updated documents count on update queries

You should be able to do import { DeleteResult } from 'mongodb' as a workaround, but you're right that Mongoose should export DeleteResult.
