Research direction

Inspect the package dependency declaration and the import sites identified by the lodash/cloneDeep search link. Reproduce the unresolved import in a Next.js project, then verify that the dependency declaration and import path agree and that the package resolves without requiring an extra project-level lodash installation.

Description

Not sure if this bug is caused by my setup or how module resolution works in node (it seems like this is an unclear area), so apologies if this is a false report.

But when I try to use @cloudinary/base in my Next.js project, I get an error about failing to resolve lodash/cloneDeep, and then indeed I see that various places import it like lodash/cloneDeep: https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary-js-base/search?q=lodash%2FcloneDeep

but in the package dependencies, it is written as lodash.cloneDeep. Should this be switched to import cloneDeep from 'lodash.cloneDeep';?

I monkey-patched the files locally and changing the import statements to lodash.cloneDeep fixed the issue. I also was able to get the package working locally by just installing lodash to my whole project.
