import syntax for TypeScript compiler - perhaps add to documentation

[morrisonbrett]

I found that this did not work:

import { Event } from 'nostr-tools/lib/types/pure';

In order to get this to work:

import { Event } from 'nostr-tools/pure';

I had to add this to tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "nostr-tools/*": ["./node_modules/nostr-tools/lib/types/*"]
    }
}

What version of TypeScript?

I think it should work out of the box because of the stuff we have in package.json, but I don't understand TypeScript.

Why can't you just import from nostr-tools/pure directly?

Latest version, of course. I imagine most consumers of nostr-tools are using it with Node. I'm using it in the browser in a TypeScript React project.

This can probably be fixed with an export file at the root of the project.
