TypeScript example fails to compile

[dandv]

Out of the box, the TypeScript example at fails to compile:

node --loader=ts-node/esm index.ts

(node:20) ExperimentalWarning: `--experimental-loader` may be removed in the future; instead use `register()`:
--import 'data:text/javascript,import { register } from "node:module"; import { pathToFileURL } from "node:url"; register("ts-node/esm", pathToFileURL("./"));'
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
file:///home/projects/stackblitz-starters-bkpyr8/index.ts:2
import { Client } from 'node-mailjet';
         ^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Named export 'Client' not found. The requested module 'node-mailjet' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:

import pkg from 'node-mailjet';
const { Client } = pkg;

    at _instantiate (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:155:1617)

Node.js 18.20.3

PS: is this module maintained any more? There hasn't been any activity since November.

Same problem, Issue is where node.js project use ESM and import mailjet client using named export.
We use following workaround

import type { Client } from "node-mailjet";
import Mailjet from "node-mailjet";

    // @see https://github.com/mailjet/mailjet-apiv3-nodejs/issues/281
    // @ts-expect-error Problem in library export and commonjs
    this.client = new Mailjet({
      apiKey,
      apiSecret,
      config: {
        version: "v3.1",
      },
    }) as Client;

and in tsconfig.json

"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true

Another option could be

import Client from "node-mailjet";
import MailjetRaw from "node-mailjet";
// typescript acrobatics to fix bad typings
const Mailjet = MailjetRaw as unknown as typeof Client.default;
