"type": "module" is preventing this package from being import from non-module environments

[RebeccaStevens]

I've opened an issue for this with TypeScript as I believe this to be unintended behavior, but if it ends up being the case that it's not then "type": "module" will need to be removed from package.json.

This is interesting, so is this specific to typescript resolving the package? Or are there actually issues with how it is consumed by Node itself?

[RebeccaStevens]

I haven't tested with node itself but I wouldn't imagine there to be any issue there as the package is explicitly using .cjs and .mjs extensions.

I can’t remember specifically, but it may be possible that the type: "module" was needed to have the internal tests etc working. But I think its also possible to make that work with explicit file extensions rather.
