TypeScript typing problem - numbro.d.ts should not use "export default"

[ntamas]

The TypeScript typing file for numbro has recently been changed as follows between versions 2.1.0 and 2.1.1:

-export = numbro;
+export default numbro;

(Related issue: #352, related PR: #363)

This causes problems if Numbro is being used in a TypeScript project where tsconfig.json specifies module: "commonjs" and target: "es5". Since the typing file declares that numbro has a default export, TS only accepts the following syntax to import the entire module:

import numbro from "numbro";

numbro(123);

However, this transpiles down to the following in ES5:

var numbro_1 = require("numbro");

numbro_1.default(123);

which is incorrect because the JS code of numbro does not have a property named default - the module exports the entire numbro function as the module-level export instead. I believe that the typing file should revert to export = numbro to reflect this, or the module itself should include exports.default = numbro to provide a default export.

yeah, this affects us too

Is there any workaround for this?

@BenjaminVanRyseghem this is still an issue, as exemplified by #435; the changes provided in #430 does not address the original problem reported here.

in numbro 2.2.0

I'm still getting this in 2.2.0 with the following tsconfig:
"module": "commonjs", "target": "es2019",
the following import statement:
import numbro from 'numbro';
and the following usage:
numbro(value).format({ thousandSeparated: true, mantissa: 2 });
the following error occurs:
numbro_1.default is not a function TypeError: numbro_1.default is not a function

Sorry for the @ but just checking if you had a chance to see the above as the issue was closed when I commented.
