Typescript @types/node conflict

file node_modules/jdenticon/types/env.d.ts brings a conflict with @types/node by global interface Buffer { }

The duplicated Buffer interface is intentional, to avoid an explicit dependency to @types/node. Developers using Jdenticon on Node will most likely reference @types/node, and declaration merging should then take care of merging the interfaces. For developers not using Node, Buffer will just resolve to the empty interface.

The reason for not having an explicit dependency to @types/node is mainly the setTimeout issue, where the Node declaration is conflicting with the browser definition.

Do you get an actual build error caused by the interface?

Never mind, found out that there are changes to the v16 Node typings breaking the Jdenticon typings. I will have a look at it. Thanks for reporting the issue!
