Element type is invalid

[mkilpatrick]

When I import this library and use it exactly the same way as the example I get

Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a
       class/function (for composite components) but got: object.

However, if I copy the src into my own project, along with this fix, it works fine.

@mkilpatrick not sure if it's still relevant, but I faced the same issue today. I'm using commmonJS and was able to work around this issue the following way:

const { default: Spinner } = require("ink-spinner");

Have a good one 👋

@mkilpatrick Hey bro, did you solve this problem?

For the record, I had the same issue (and with ink-text-input too).

I solved it this way (even in TS)

import SpinnerCJS from 'ink-spinner';
import TextInputCJS from 'ink-text-input';

// @ts-expect-error -- issue with ink-text-input and CommonJS definition
const TextInput = TextInputCJS.default as typeof TextInputCJS;

// @ts-expect-error -- issue with ink-text-input and CommonJS definition
const Spinner = SpinnerCJS.default as typeof SpinnerCJS;
