Dexie has no construct signatures

[slashinfty]

I'm working on Svelte & Neutralino application, and I'm encountering an error while roughly following this tutorial.

/* db.ts */
import Dexie, { type Table } from 'dexie';

interface Event {
    id: string,
    name: string
}

const db = new Dexie('calendar') as Dexie & {
    events: Table<Event, string>
}

db.version(1).stores({
    events: '&id, name'
});

export type { Event };
export { db };

So new Dexie gives the following error:

This expression is not constructable. Type 'typeof import("/home/coder/project/teacher-planner/node_modules/dexie/dist/dexie")' has no construct signatures.

While as Dexie gives the following error:

Cannot use namespace 'Dexie' as a type.

I am unsure what the problem is here. This is what my tsconfig.json looks like:

{
	"extends": "./.svelte-kit/tsconfig.json",
	"compilerOptions": {
		"allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
		"allowJs": true,
		"checkJs": true,
		"esModuleInterop": true,
		"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
		"resolveJsonModule": true,
		"skipLibCheck": true,
		"sourceMap": true,
		"strict": true,
		"module": "NodeNext",
		"moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
		"verbatimModuleSyntax": true,
		"isolatedModules": true
	}
}

Try

import { Dexie, type Table } from "dexie"

That works. I suppose it would be wise to update the tutorial.

I'm a bit confused though as in most setups, default-importing Dexie still works fine.

However, as planned in the road map for version 5, I'm planning to enforce importing Dexie as a named import and that has been working as well ever since dexie 3, I suppose it's best to update all the docs to suggest that way of importing it.

Please just verify that you get it working runtime as well so the setup with the latest sveltekit doesn't have any other hidden issue?
