gets either Cannot find package or SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

tried to yarn installed the project and got

/Users/arch/typescript-swc-starter/node_modules/victor-db/victor_db.js:1
import * as wasm from "./victor_db_bg.wasm";
^^^^^^

for import pkg from "victor-db/victor_db.js";

or using either import pkg from "victor-db" or import pkg from "victor" and I will get

  throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(
        ^
CustomError: Cannot find package '/Users/arch/typescript-swc-starter/node_modules/victor-db/'

not quite sure why but the not-found problem is resolved if npm install locally
