'FormData' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here

Reproduction

Hi, I’ve got some issues with node-fetch v3.2.10 while trying to upgrade from v2.6.7 (tbf these issues appeared starting from v3.0.0).

When trying to compile typescript getting

node_modules/formdata-polyfill/esm.min.d.ts:2:11 - error TS2749: 'FormData' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here. Did you mean 'typeof FormData'?

2   new (): FormData;
            ~~~~~~~~

Or

node_modules/node-fetch/@types/index.d.ts:137:22 - error TS2749: 'FormData' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here. Did you mean 'typeof FormData'?

137  formData(): Promise<FormData>;
                         ~~~~~~~~

Expected behavior

I expect not to get any issue

Your Environment

software	version
node-fetch	3.2.10
node	18.1.0
yarn	3.2.0
Operating System	WSL2.0 Ubuntu 20.04, Windows 10

Tried typescript v.4.7.4 and v4.8.4, both gets the same result

This issue is likely to be a duplicate of #1617, introduced in #1287. Workarounds are to revert to v3.2.8 or add DOM to the libraries included in tsconfig.

well… with node 18 you’d probably not need node-fetch anyway

Yes, I am eagerly awaiting for the AWS Lambda runtime support for Node 18. In the meantime I’m thinking of reverting to an older node-fetch and using that until the runtime with native fetch is supported.
