Cannot use import statement outside a module in Next.js app

[hashedalgorithm]

Description:
I am trying to use the react-seat-toolkit package in my Next.js application, but I am encountering the following error:

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

}

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install react-seat-toolkit in a Next.js project with pages router.
2. Attempt to import the SeatPicker component:
3. Run the Next.js application.

Expected Behavior:
The SeatPicker component should be imported and rendered without any issues.

Actual Behavior:
The application fails to compile and throws an error:

Code:

import SeatToolkit, { SeatStatus } from "@mezh-hq/react-seat-toolkit";
import "@mezh-hq/react-seat-toolkit/styles";
import {
  IPopulatedSeat,
  ISTKData,
  SeatSelectionMode,
} from "@mezh-hq/react-seat-toolkit/types";

  const data = {
    seats: [
      {
        id: "1",
        x: 0,
        y: 0,
        label: "A1",
        status: SeatStatus.Available,
      },
      {
        id: "2",
        x: 35,
        y: 0,
        label: "A2",
        status: SeatStatus.Available,
      },
    ],
  } satisfies ISTKData;

const ScreenEventSeat = () => {
  const onSeatClick = (seat: IPopulatedSeat) => {
    console.log(seat);
  };

  return (
    <section className="flex justify-between gap-8">
      <SeatToolkit
        mode="user"
        styles={{
          root: {
            className: "bg-gray-100 p-4 flex-1 w-full rounded-md",
          },
        }}
        data={data}
        events={{
          onSeatClick: onSeatClick,
        }}
      />
    </section>
  );
};

export default ScreenEventSeat;

Screenshots

Environment:

• Next.js version: 14.0.4 (Pages Router)
• react-seat-toolkit version: 1.3.1
• Node.js version: 18.19.1
• OS: Windows 11 Home(64-bit) - Version: 23H2 - OSBuild: 22631.3737
• Browser: Brave Browser Version 1.67.123 Chromium: 126.0.6478.126 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Context:
While Installing package:
If i try to add using
npm i -g @mezh-hq/react-seat-toolkit
it fails saying it cant find the module 'patch-package'. So i first add patch-package and then seat-toolkit it successfully added the package.

After encountering the error:
I tried clearing yarn, and npm cache and nodemodules, but nothing seems to work!

Hello, sorry around the delay, I didn't notice this being opened. It should be fixed with the latest version, both the import and the installation error of needing patch-package. Feel free to reopen this if it isn't
