I'm trying to use Got with Typescript and ESM, and since Got is written in typescript itself I understand that it is supposed to be easy to integrate. I even followed this guide written by the author of Got which is very detailed and helpful.
However, after following the guide, I can't get anything to build! I created a new project today with a fresh install of typescript and I'm on node 16.14
Index.ts
import got from 'got'
console.log("hello world");
package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"got": "^12.0.3"
},
"version": "0.0.1",
"exports": "./index.js",
"engines": {
"node": "^12.20.0 || ^14.13.1 || >=16.0.0"
},
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc index.ts",
"start": "node index.js"
},
"license": "ISC"
}
tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "ES2020",
"moduleResolution": "node"
}
}

I am pretty lost at this point. The errors tell me that I need to be using ECMA 2015 or something newer, but as you can see I am using 2020! I also tried including the esModuleInterop flag as some of the errors suggest, but that makes no difference in the output. I've spent several hours on the issue already and I'm feeling discouraged that I can't even get a project to build with only one dependency. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
