How can we help?

I have used JOI previously on my Node apps. I am now doing something client side, although I will hit server endpoints. I want to share the validation across both. I do import Joi from 'joi'; after turning on esModuleInterop in TS config, as it told me. In the browser I get this error:

The requested module './../../../node_modules/joi/lib/index.js' does not provide an export named 'default'

I saw elsewhere that this is supposed to work in React create app, but that uses Webpack. Is that a requirement of using this package in browser??
