Description of problem:

I am trying to get the following code to work:

import * as esbuild from 'esbuild';
import * as jQuery from "jquery";
import * as jszip from 'jszip';
import * as pdfmake from 'pdfmake';
import * as DataTable from 'datatables.net-bs';
import 'datatables.net-buttons-bs';
import 'datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.colVis.mjs';
import 'datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.html5.mjs';
import 'datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.print.mjs';

I have run the following installs:

npm install --save jquery
npm install --save jszip
npm install --save pdfmake
npm install --save datatables.net-bs
npm install --save datatables.net-buttons-bs

What do I need to do to resolve the error?
