`module` field in package.json doesn't point to an esm module.

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug module field in package.json points to minified version of the library.

Also causes issues when using npm link across modules for development (minified file cannot be found / imported)

Expected behavior module field should point to the esm distribution so that it can be imported by consuming projects and tree-shaken / imported correctly.

When I try to use dayjs/esm (import * as dayjs from ‘dayjs/esm’) or (import dayjs from ‘dayjs/esm’) in VS Code angular project it says

Could not find a declaration file for module ‘dayjs/esm’. ‘**/node_modules/dayjs/esm/index.js’ implicitly has an ‘any’ type. Try npm install @types/dayjs if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing declare module 'dayjs/esm';

Ah okay - this is catching a few people out / deterring them from using the module.

Not sure if there is a “proper” fix for this as I’m no expert. I’ll switch to dayjs/esm for now.
