Type declaration for socket.io does not contain default export. You can check it in its index.d.ts. It contains the following:

export { Socket, ServerOptions, Namespace };

That's why to init socket.io server object you need to use the following instruction:

const app = express();
const httpServer = new http.Server(app);
const io = new socketio.Server(httpServer);
