Issue with importing package through ES6 notation

[AleAtSoftplace]

Hello, I've installed the package through NPM and I'm trying to import it in my project, but when I try to

import * as ns from "nice-select2"
window.NiceSelect = ns;

I get a "Package is not installed" error. The package is present in the node_modules directory.

My stack is Vite v4.3.8 and Tailwind 3.3.2 This is the full error log, I think something in the manifest or exports could be wrong.

9:57:06 AM [vite] Internal server error: Failed to resolve entry for package "nice-select2". The package may have incorrect main/module/exports specified in its package.json.

Add this line to this module's package.json node_modules/nice-select2/package.json

"module": "dist/js/nice-select2.js",

I'm also running into an issue with the module not being recognized through the syntax import NiceSelect from 'nice-select2';.

I'm using Symfony's Webpack Encore and receiving this error:

Module build failed: Module not found:
"./assets/backend/backend.js" contains a reference to the file "nice-select2".
This file can not be found, please check it for typos or update it if the file got moved.

My work-around was to reference the file directly, based on my project's directory structure:

import NiceSelect from '../../node_modules/nice-select2/src/js/nice-select2.js';
