Issue with constructor initialization in Typescript

Question

Pinata SDK: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pinata/sdk

I trying to use the Pinata SDK in one of the packages of a Nx Typescript monorepo project. I installed the SDK with: yarn add @pinata/sdk -W. Now using it in a package A file: packages/A/src/lib/encryption.ts where the monorepo structure is like:

packages
  - A
  - B

Now initializing the SDK as:

import pinataSDK from '@pinata/sdk';
const pinata = new pinataSDK.default('yourPinataApiKey', 'yourPinataSecretApiKey');
// const pinata = new pinataSDK({ pinataApiKey: 'yourPinataApiKey', pinataSecretApiKey: 'yourPinataSecretApiKey' }); // Tried this way too which doesn't work either

I get the following error:

const pinata = new sdk_1.default('yourPinataApiKey', 'yourPinataSecretApiKey');
                   ^
TypeError: sdk_1.default is not a constructor

I tried a different way of importing too:

import * as pinataSDK from '@pinata/sdk';

This also gave a similar error:

const pinata = new pinataSDK.default('yourPinataApiKey', 'yourPinataSecretApiKey');
                   ^
TypeError: pinataSDK.default is not a constructor

How can properly initialize the SDK?
