Default import doesn't work correctly with typescript moduleResolution node16

[Andrew Potter]

When I use "moduleResolution": "node16" in my tsconfig.json, I have to change my code as follows in order for it to compile:

import ShortUniqueId from 'short-unique-id';

// what I want to do
const generator = new ShortUniqueId(...);

// what I have to do
const generator = new ShortUniqueId.default(...);

It seems to be an issue with how the types are declared:
https://arethetypeswrong.github.io/?p=short-unique-id%405.0.3

That site claims that it might not work at runtime - this is something I haven't validated yet.

Confirm that there is problem on node16 and nodenext.
It ends up with error like

error TS2351: This expression is not constructable.
Type 'typeof import("./node_modules/short-unique-id/dist/short-unique-id")' has no construct signatures.

I've added the following specs in order to address these concerns:

Even with these, I am unable to reproduce the symptom with the current code-base.

I will close this issue, but if you run into the same problem with default import, feel free to open a new issue and include steps to reproduce.

Cheers ✌🏼
