SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

[profiluefter]

Hi,
there are already a few issues due to build problems however the error I'm getting is not among them.

After adding an import of the package to my next.js project (using TypeScript) I get the following error:

error - ...\node_modules\json-diff-kit\dist\index.js:2453
import * as React from "react";
^^^^^^

}

The mentioned (compiled) file does indeed contain the import:

This is the only import in this compiled file so I guess it is a build error and the other imports got adjusted properly.

Maybe this import could be adjusted to just import the used function/types/etc and not everything and that might resolve the issue:

json-diff-kit/src/viewer.tsx

Line 1 in 2b60edd

import * as React from 'react';

Also just in case this import exists because it was necessary to import React in older versions of React, this is no longer the case.

Downgrading to version 1.0.8 fixed it for me eventhough the import is still present in the compiled dist file. Weird

It would also be nice to not need React considering I was planning to use this for Vue and the README even mentions Vue specifically.

Wouldn't be enough to switch import * as React from "react"; to import React from "react"; ?

[profiluefter]

I'm not sure but I would just switch it to only import the things which are actually needed. Might send a PR later if I remember to
