Latest version overwrites MongoDB types affecting other packages, i.e. connect-mongo

[onebrother21]

Describe the bug Version 5.0.2 overwrites mongoDB/mongoose types that break other mongoDB/mongoose-dependent packages, like connect-mongo. Not sure which set of types are actually doing the harm.

Environment

• I'm using multer-gridfs-storage version 5.0.2.
• My installed MongoDb version is 4.81. <-- I do not need this in this package, and simply installed it to see if it would address the issue. It did not.
• I have Multer 1.4.4-lts.1 installed to upload files. <-- also tried 1.4.5-lts.1, no luck.
• The Node version used to run the code is 16.14.0.

To Reproduce npm i connect-mongo -> package.json shows "connect-mongo": "^4.6.0"; npm i [email protected] -> package.json shows "multer": "^1.4.4-lts.1"; npm i multer-gridfs-storage -> npm shows warnings/errors addressed in #490 , package.json shows "multer-gridfs-storage": "^5.0.2".

Upon build, the following errors are generated:

tsc

node_modules/connect-mongo/build/main/lib/MongoStore.d.ts:2:55 - error TS2305: Module '"mongodb"' has no exported member 'WriteConcernSettings'.

2 import { Collection, MongoClient, MongoClientOptions, WriteConcernSettings } from 'mongodb'; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

36 explain?: mongodb.ExplainVerbosityLike;

And 60 more...The build command output ends with this summary:

Found 63 errors in 11 files.

Expected behavior Upon build, no errors generated. When this package is removed only, build runs perfectly as expected.

I guess hardcoding the version of the types "@types/mongodb": "^3.5.25" is a problem. Will fix it soon

Just checking in on progress. Any ETA?
