tsc incorrectly compiling .ts files into .js

Question

Hello I am using typescript and orbit-db in a project and I ran into this issue:

This code

this.orbitdb = new OrbitDB(this.ipfs);

For some reason compiles into:

this.orbitdb = new orbit_db_1.default(this.ipfs);

instead of

this.orbitdb = new orbit_db_1(this.ipfs);

I tried looking online for a fix but I didn't find anything

You need flags esModuleInterop and/or allowSyntheticDefaultImports
