Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes, I am attempting to use the graphql-ruby-client package with the newly released Vite 8 and getting this error Uncaught TypeError: ActionCableLink is not a constructor when running Vite.

I've created the simplest repro I could at https://github.com/alexrecital/repro-graphql-ruby-vite/tree/main which has a readme with repro steps.

I believe that it should be possible to package both CJS and ESM for backward compatibility.

Describe the solution you'd like

This package to start being published as an ESM module so that Vite can work out of the box without having to configure inconsistentCjsInterop.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Npm patch the package, fork the package, vendor the package, open a PR :)

Thank you for providing open source software.

In case it helps anyone else, this is how we worked around the issue:

import * as ActionCableLinkModule from 'graphql-ruby-client/subscriptions/ActionCableLink';

...

const ActionCableLinkResolved = ActionCableLinkModule.default as
  | typeof ActionCableLinkModule.default
  | { default: typeof ActionCableLinkModule.default };
const ActionCableLink =
  'default' in ActionCableLinkResolved ? ActionCableLinkResolved.default : ActionCableLinkResolved;

it would be definitely preferable to have an ESM build available in this package since support for CommonJS is rapidly dwindling in the node/browser ecosystem
