[BUG] Cannot import this module in Typescript

[politician]

Describe the bug

When I try to import this module in my typescript project, I get the following error:

import { ImgurClient } from "imgur";
         ^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Named export 'ImgurClient' not found. The requested module 'imgur' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:

import pkg from 'imgur';
const { ImgurClient } = pkg;

To Reproduce

Does not work

import { ImgurClient } from "imgur";

const imgurClient = new ImgurClient({
  clientId: process.env.IMGUR_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.IMGUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
});

Works

import imgur from "imgur";

const imgurClient = new imgur.ImgurClient({
  clientId: process.env.IMGUR_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.IMGUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
});

⚠️ However VSCode shows me Property 'ImgurClient' does not exist on type 'typeof ImgurClient'.

Environment

• Library version: 2.2.0
• OS: macOS
• NodeJS version: v16.14.2

Have you tried import ImgurClient from "imgur"?

This works for a .ts file.

@politician disregard my previous statement, I ran across this in another project and was able to see the problem. I don't know how to resolve it at the moment, but can you try these lines:

import imgur from 'imgur'
// @ts-expect-error
const ImgurClient = imgur.ImgurClient

And see if you are at least able to use the API? It breaks intellisense, unfortunately, but I have been able to use it without issues at runtme.

I ended up having this issue but your suggestion above resolved the import error for me without requiring the typescript ignore comment. However, I was met with another issue:

Error: Cannot find module 'tslib'

Specifically installing tslib into my project solved that. Not sure why I had to explicitly install it into my own project when the imgur package depended on it.

I just pushed a new version (2.4.0) of this package that is built using Vite and should no longer present any issues with importing this module in TypeScript.

Please let me know if you see any further issues!
