Build error when using with pnpm and nestjs

[rajivkr]

Hello, I am getting this error, when I building my nestjs application using pnpm.

`node_modules/.pnpm/csv-writer@1.6.0/node_modules/csv-writer/src/index.ts:11:14 - error TS2742: The inferred type of 'createArrayCsvStringifier' cannot be named without a reference to '.pnpm/csv-writer@1.6.0/node_modules/csv-writer/src/lib/csv-stringifiers/array'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.

Same mistake.

[lukepearce]

instead of using es6 import:
import { createObjectCsvWriter } from "csv-writer"

use require:
const createObjectCsvWriter = require("csv-writer").createObjectCsvWriter;

FYI I'm getting this error using esbuild, since you're already using typescript and tsc, this feels like an easy fix. Just update your tsconfig to output a .d.ts declaration file to dist/index.d.ts and update "types" in package.json to point to the declaration file. Are you willing to accept a pull request for this? I'm happy to submit send one over.

Could this PR be merged? Seems like a simple change to massively improve the usability of the library.
