twilio.webhook is not a function

[crizant]

Hi, I'm using twilio package version 5.8.0 from npm, with TypeScript and Express.js.
When I tried to use the express middleware, I see the following in the console:

twilio.webhook({
         ^


TypeError: twilio.webhook is not a function

Here is my code, from the typing it's absolutely fine:

import { Router } from "express";
import handler from "./handler.js";
import * as twilio from "twilio";

const router = Router();

router.post(
  "/",
  twilio.webhook({
    authToken: process.env.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN,
  }),
  handler
);

export default router;

I got my code by referencing this page:
https://www.twilio.com/docs/usage/tutorials/how-to-secure-your-express-app-by-validating-incoming-twilio-requests
Is it outdated?

Hello!
I am trying to replicate the issue, it is working fine for me.
What are the environment variables you are using?

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking about, but I'm using Node v22.12.0 and Express v4.2.1.
The AI at the Twilio Helper Center tells me the twilio.webhook function is not provided anymore in the recent releases of the Twilio SDK:
