fix esm import compatibility issue

fix #47

[junderw]

1. Needs TS changes (git diff job compiles TS and makes sure there's no diff in the JS, you only modified the JS)
2. Please look into the other errors, feel free to fix the CI config so they work if needed.

@junderw i opened another pr because i created this patch-1 branch via the github ui and i couldn't find the remote to check it out. #49

you need to run the workflows

you need to run the workflows

I ran the workflow and it gave errors. You should look at the errors (lts unit, coverage, and gitdiff) and figure out why they gave errors and fix them.

Pull Requests should not cause CI errors.

I was merely telling you that this repository's CI config might be outdated, so feel free to modify the CI config to fix any CI issues.

Some people are big sticklers about PRs touching CI config (because you can easily just make the job command return true without actually fixing the underlying issue)... but I was saying "I'll go ahead and let you do that if necessary, I don't mind"

CI can run on your fork btw. You would make, for instance, two branches, branch A and B. Then you make a pull request on your fork merging B into A. Then you can run the CI as much as you want without waiting for me to approve it. Then once all the errors are gone, you can then create a pull request to merge B into the master branch of our repo.
