Import error on typescript environment

I’m use:

• node v14.5.0,
• typescript v3.9.6
• ts-node v8.10.2

on a Windows 10 system, and when I only import Minisearch like:

import Minisearch from 'minisearch';

I get the follow error on try run with ts-node:

const searcher = new Minisearch({
                 ^
TypeError: minisearch_1.default is not a constructor
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\farin\atla\bercario\bot\src\internals\Searcher.ts:8:18)

    at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1090:19)
    at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:75:18)

Can anyone help me? I’m not know if I’m doing something wrong and I can’t imagine how to fix that.

Hello folks,

I just encountered the same issue when I tried to test (using Jest) angular service that operates with MiniSearch library. I was able to fix the issue by substituting my tsconfig.spec.json with

"compilerOptions": {
      "module": "esnext",
      "esModuleInterop": true
  }

I remove the node_modules and try install again, and works. Thanks.
