I got the following warning:

'cheerio' is deprecated.ts(6385)
index.d.ts(39, 4): The declaration was marked as deprecated here.
(alias) const cheerio: CheerioAPI
import cheerio
The default cheerio instance.

@deprecated — Use the function returned by load instead.

No quick fixes available

You can do this:

import { load } from 'cheerio';
const $ = load(...);

Or use an import alias, that should work too (we use that in our codebase):

import * as cheerio from 'cheerio';
const $ = cheerio.load(...);

Thanks Martin ... I was able to do that. My (quite minor) issue is really that several pages of the documentation / tutorial need to be updated to reflect that. I'm not sure how to do that via Github as I'm a bit of Github newbie.

Yeah, I just wanted to first confirm it helps for you as well. Here is a PR fixing this in all the examples: #664
