compromise_1.default is not a function

This is what I did:

npm i ts-node
npm i typescript
npm i compromise

Then I pasted the node module example:

// script.ts
import nlp from 'compromise'

var doc = nlp('London is calling')
doc.verbs().toNegative()

Then did:

ts-node script.ts

And I got this error:

TypeError: compromise_1.default is not a function

The same happened when I was working in a VS Code extension.ts file. (So maybe Compromise has problems running in TypeScript files?). Compromise worked well after I changed import nlp from 'compromise' to const nlp = require('compromise').

Note: These are the versions of the packages.

"compromise": "^12.3.0",
"ts-node": "^8.6.2",
"typescript": "^3.7.5"
