Add main field to package.json

[kanadgupta]

Hi there! I'm attempting to use the JS API with the latest version (i.e., alex@11.0.0) and I'm seeing the following deprecation warning:

(node:65358) [DEP0151] DeprecationWarning: No "main" or "exports" field defined in the package.json for [redacted]/node_modules/alex/ resolving the main entry point "index.js", imported from [redacted]

Per the docs for DEP0151:

With this deprecation, all ES module main entry point resolutions require an explicit "exports" or "main" entry with the exact file extension.

I figured it was safe to add an exports field that points to the index.js file, similar to the recommended approach in the Node.js docs.

Thanks in advance! Big fan of this project 🙂

hey!

AFAIK, this is a warning right, not an actual error?
This used to work for 10 years or so.

Using exports is a technically potentially breaking change, so that’s a little bit hmmm from me.
An alternative is adding a main: "index.js". That should also silence the error, and not prevent anything else from being used if desired

Yes, this is more to address a warning than an actual error. Agree with this assessment — I'll make that change. Thanks!
