Error: No "exports" main defined

Please describe the problem you are having in as much detail as possible: When trying to use discord-api-types with TypeScript, I’m getting the following error.

Error: No "exports" main defined in C:\Users\Paul\Desktop\test\node_modules\discord-api-types\package.json
    at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:371:5)
    at throwExportsNotFound (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:413:9)
    at packageExportsResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:652:3)

    at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:94:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\Paul\Desktop\test\test.ts:1:1)

I tried it first with other code in a project, then a separate file and then a clean project, with a clean install, but the error doesn’t change. I’m sure it’s not me.

Include a reproducible code sample here, if possible:

• Create a new project (folder)
• Run npm i -s discord-api-types
• Create a file called test.ts with the following code.

import { Routes } from "discord-api-types";

console.log(Routes.applicationCommands("123"));

• Run ts-node test and see the error.

Further details:

• Runtime:
  • Node.js version: v16.7.0

Hmm… It seems that I forgot to remove types from the package.json, maybe that’s the issue? I think best bet is to wait for TS to implement the nodejsnext target

Another solution could be to throw an error when importing discord-api-types without specifying the version
