React native typescript project, getting the following error [TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'DES.encrypt')]

I installed the `react-native-crypto-js` v 1.0.0 im an using `react-native` v 0.64.1 (Typescript)

```
const DES = require("react-native-crypto-js").DES;
const encrypted = await DES.encrypt(value, 'KEY').toString();
```

I am getting the following error: 
`[TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'DES.encrypt')]`

Any idea what is going wrong?
