typings index.d.ts failing transpilation, needs an ts-ignore bypass.

Using @vonage/server-sdk with typescript doesn’t transpile without an unrecommended bypass, but then it doesn’t work at all.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is to use the package without ts notations

Current Behavior

The current behavior is the next.

import * as Vonage from '@vonage/server-sdk';
const nexmo = new Vonage({
      apiKey: 'asdf',
      apiSecret: 'asdf',
    });
// throws:
// TS2351: This expression is not constructable.
// Type 'typeof import("@vonage/server-sdk")' has no construct signatures

import Vonage from '@vonage/server-sdk';
const nexmo = new Vonage({
      apiKey: 'asdf',
      apiSecret: 'asdf',
    });
// ide don't complain, but when executing the bundle it throws a fatal error:
// TypeError: server_sdk_1.default is not a constructor

Context

Now it needs to be used with this ts notations:

import * as Vonage from '@vonage/server-sdk';
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment
// @ts-ignore
const nexmo = new Vonage({
      apiKey: 'asdf',
      apiSecret: 'asdf',
    });
const from = 'Vonage APIs';
const to = '...';
const text = 'Hello from Vonage SMS API';

nexmo.message.sendSms(from, to, text, {}, (err, data) => {
   console.log(err);
   console.log(data);
});
// sms received

@visioncored - you may also need to add the following config:

        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "moduleResolution": "node",

I just about have things fixed up.

@kellyjandrews I also encountered this issue when I was trying out the SMS API in Firebase Cloud Functions. Here is the .tsconfig from my end.
