No Support for CommonJS

[CodeSmith32]

PLEASE provide proper support for CommonJS. Normal npm packages always provide both .mjs and .cjs files, and configure "exports" to switch on the import type in their package.json, e.g.:

{
  // ...
  "exports": {
    "import": "main.mjs",
    "require": "main.cjs"
  },
  // ...
}

Our esmodule-based code is transpiled to common-js to support other CommonJS-only libraries and work around several other issues.

Because of the lack of proper CommonJS for this package, we're forced to use an extremely ugly and hard-to-use import routine:

// @laserfiche modules are esmodule-only. Because `import` statements are transpiled to `require`,
// which cannot load esmodules, this import MUST be explicitly written as a dynamic import call, which
// is allowed in commonjs modules, but still works for esmodules. Otherwise, deployment WILL FAIL.

// WARNING: When using anything within LaserficheModule, the code MUST await LaserficheModuleLoading beforehand.
let LaserficheModule!: typeof import("@laserfiche/lf-repository-api-client");
let LaserficheModuleLoading!: Promise<void>;
// MUST use eval to prevent transpiler from converting it to require
eval(`
  LaserficheModuleLoading = import(
    "@laserfiche/lf-repository-api-client"
  ).then((mod) => {
    LaserficheModule = mod;
  });
`);

It is yet to be determined if even this works. If it doesn't, we'll literally be forced to disregard this library and rewrite it on our own.
