Removal of module export in v4.11.0 broken dependencies

[Zoobdude]

When attempting to build my TS using node-opcua 2.134.0 or above, it has been erroring with many Cannot find module 'node-opcua-crypto/web'.

My current solution is to pin the version of node-opcua to 2.133.0

This seems to be related to the removal of web.d.ts in commit 4981043.

I realise this issue should have probably been opened on the node-opcua repo, however issues have been restricted to previous contributors only.

Hi @Zoobdude ,

If you look at the node-opcua-crypto package you will see that the web modules are present in the export sections.

The import issue comes with typescript and can be easily overcome:

• make sure you are using typescript > 4.7
• ensure that your tsconfig use moduleResolution = node16 or nodenext and not 'node'
