TypeError: Object(...) is not a function for create method

[shubham-2702]

I have set up ipfs on my windows 64 bit system, and i have the ipfs daemon running in the terminal, and the API server listening on /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001

Now i am trying the example at
https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/packages/ipfs-http-client#example
But that results in the following error

const ipfs = create() TypeError: create is not a function at Object. C:/Users/shubh/Downloads/Agriculture-Supply-Chain-Management/Delivery/src/components/ipfs.js:2

Also, with await keyword before ipfs.add , it's not compiling but that's written in the example.
I am using node version 16.13.1

Can you please provide a small reproduction repo?

I think this is down to your webpack config - you can see some working config here.
