Wrong type definition export

[Brakebein]

The current export of the type definition in index.d.ts looks like this:

export default function exif(buffer: Buffer): Exif;

However, the current implementation in index.js does not export any default. The type definition should actually look like this (similar to the old type definitions):

declare function exif(buffer: Buffer): Exif;
export = exif;

or you need to adapt the exports in index.js appropriately.

When I import the library using import exifReader from 'exif-reader'; I will get following runtime error:

(0 , exif_reader_1.default) is not a function

It only works when I import and use it the following way:

import * as exifReader from 'exif-reader';

const metadata = await sharp(file).metadata();
 // @ts-ignore
const exif = exifReader(metadata.exif);

(I cannot set "esModuleInterop": true in tsconfig due to some other library.)

Can confirm the same.

I found another workaround:

import exifRead from 'exif-reader';

export const readExif = exifRead as unknown as typeof exifRead.default;
