I'm writing in typescript with it set to compile to commonjs. Whenever I put export default, it compiles into exports.default instead of module.exports. I am making an NPM package, so I want this to be fixed. How do I solve it? If needed, I can add my tsconfig.json file.
How do I make "export default" compile to "module.exports"

const test = ()=> 'text';
export = test;
compiled
"use strict";
const test = () => 'text';
module.exports = test;
typescript doc: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html#export--and-import--require
You can simply write it with module.exports in your TS file
const myExportedObj = {
};
module.exports = {
foo: myExportedObj,
};
Output:
var myExportedObj = {};
module.exports = {
foo: myExportedObj,
};
Or, as far as I can see from your question, you could don't export default but export instead
TS
export const myExportedObj = {
};
JS
exports.myExportedObj = {};
Another good approach is to make an index.ts file and export modules from there
TS
export * as Context from './context';
JS
exports.Context = require("./context");
