Can't resolve '@platformatic/db-ra-data-rest'

See original GitHub issue

In have a project based on react-admin, and I have installed @platformatic/db-ra-data-rest as dependency with command: yarn add @platformatic/db-ra-data-rest

Starting the project with yarn start this error occurs on my browser:

Compiled with problems:X

ERROR in ./src/dataProvider.js 3:0-71

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@platformatic/db-ra-data-rest' in '/home/ricfio/projects/classifieds-ads/apps/frontend/src'

This is the content of the dataProvider.js file:

import platformaticDbRestProvider from '@platformatic/db-ra-data-rest'

const apiUrl = 'http://localhost:3042';
const dataProvider = platformaticDbRestProvider(apiUrl);

export default dataProvider;

I have seen that the issue can be solved changing the import as follow:

import platformaticDbRestProvider from '@platformatic/db-ra-data-rest/src/index'

So my questions are:

Need a index.js file to the root of the package? @platformatic/db-ra-data-rest/index.js
Should I built the @platformatic/db-ra-data-rest package to generate dist/index.umd.js referenced in the “main” node of package.json ?
Should @platformatic/db-ra-data-rest/dist folder be remove from .gitignore?

How should this issue be solved?
