Research direction

Start with package.json and the existing d.ts file, then inspect how the JavaScript package is currently produced and exported. Verify the exports and types fields, ensure dependencies are declared and exported JavaScript has no bundled dependencies, and confirm the resulting package supports the requested imports and type declarations.

Description

dependencies javascript

We need to include some source JS files to aid in importing from NPM.

Tasks:

  • Correct exports field in package.json
  • No bundled dependencies in exported js. You can ship multiple/unminified files if you like, I can bundle on my end as long as there's an import papertrail. Unminified is way easier to debug.
  • Dependencies declared in package.json
  • Correct types field in package.json
  • Correct d.ts file
