tsconfig with module option set to Node16 orama refuses to import

[gabrielsantosblanchet]

Describe the bug

when using tsconfig option
"module": "Node16",
"moduleResolution": "Node16"
in a commonJS project orama refuses to import correctly

I'm using these option as per the documentation set in https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules/reference.html#the-module-compiler-option

To Reproduce

the code will not work, as in it doesn't event compile

Expected behavior

since orama emits cjs file it should just be able to import the correct one

Faced the same issue, got it working by dynamic import (as a workaround).

const searchFunction = async (data) => {
  return import("@orama/orama").then(async (module) => {
    const searchDB = await module.create({
      schema: { ... }
    });

    // Implement search logic below
  })
};
