Const enums and --isolatedModules

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to use this library in a create-react-app with TypeScript. When I try to import it, I get the error

(...)/node_modules/@zxing/library/esm5/core/common/CharacterSetECI.d.ts
Type error: Ambient const enums are not allowed when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided.  TS1209

CRA with TypeScript has this flag enabled by default and doesn’t let me turn it off. (To be honest, I don’t really understand what it does. Much less what the difference between enums and const enums is.)

Is there a way around this? I tried to remove all consts from enum declarations and all tests still pass.

Looks like I miserably failed at publishing it, hehe. I will try to publish it ASAP.
