ethers.provider is not defined

[Yana-Gupta]

I am using ethers library for my project but providers type does not exists on ethers.
CODE

import {ethers} from 'ethers';
const { ethereum } = window as any;
const getEthereumContract = () => {
    const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(ethereum);
    const signer = provider.getSigner();
    const { Contract } = ethers;

    const contract = new Contract(contractAddress, contractABI, signer);

    console.log({
        provider,
        signer,
        contract
    })    
}

Error

hi, you are the using the old documentation , have a look on new documentation

https://docs.ethers.org/v6/getting-started/

const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(ethereum);

providers.Web3Providers is replaced by this ..... (BrowserProvider)

const provider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);

What is the ethers version used?

@aruns05 changed in ether V6

Now in this next.js project global project
const provider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(window.ethereum)
window.ethereum is not object type of window
