Document the requirement of tooling support for package.exports

[jasonkuhrt]

Perceived Problem

Lots of issues like this thinking there is a bug:

• 7 broken on Expo/RN project #841
• TypeScript doesn't recognize the types and fail v7 #844
• Cannot find module 'graphql-request/build/esm/types' or its corresponding type declarations.ts #635
• Cannot find module 'graphql-request' or its corresponding type declarations. #295

Ideas / Proposed Solution(s)

• Document the required modern TS setup that would support reading types from package.exports.

@jakeleventhal Your moduleResolution looks correct. If you want to share a repro repo I'll take a look at some point. You can make a new issue for that. Your comment is off topic from this issue which is about documentation mentioning the necessary TS setup.

Thanks @jakeleventhal! I'll try to take a look this week.

@jasonkuhrt it might be worth it to integrate publint and @arethetypeswrong/cli to automate the quality checks on CI.

Nice I'll take a look!

@jakeleventhal The issue is your config, its literally in the message you put in your README.

> src/index.ts:1:31 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'graphql-request' or its corresponding type declarations.
  There are types at '/Users/jakeleventhal/Code/graphql-request-type-issue/packages/test/integrations/node_modules/graphql-request/build/entrypoints/main.d.ts', but this result could not be resolved under your current 'moduleResolution' setting. Consider updating to 'node16', 'nodenext', or 'bundler'.

1 import { GraphQLClient } from "graphql-request";

I'm locking this issue as it has been resolved.
