[BUG] TypeError: ImgurClient is not a constructor

[pkdev08]

import ImgurClient from 'imgur';

const client = new ImgurClient({
clientId: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET
});

Gives error TypeError: ImgurClient is not a constructor

On LTS node 18.12.1 using ESM

@pkdev08 you need to deconstruct the ImgurClient type, as shown in the documentation:

// ESModule syntax
import { ImgurClient } from 'imgur';

Hi, when I do that it's having export issues.

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;

@pkdev08 can you try the following lines:

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

I started running into this error in another project and I have now realized that esm imports do not work as intended, which was the primary target for this library. I will try to find a way to resolve this in the export, maybe by moving to rollup, as soon as I am able to.

I just realized that this was also pointed out in a previous issue, so I am closing this ticket as it is a duplicate of the issue in #205.
