Cannot import earl-reporter

[starsinmypockets]

Product: reporter-earl

Expectation: After installation with npm install @axe-core/reporter-earl module should load correctly via const reporter = require('@axe-core/reporter-earl')

Actual: Getting an error on the require statement:

      throw err;
      ^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/repos/purple-hats/node_modules/@axe-core/reporter-earl/dist/axeReporterEarl.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main

WARNING: An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later.

Motivation: Trying to get the reporter to load and run in axe via puppeteer:

await Apify.utils.puppeteer.injectFile(page, axeScript);
const results = await page.evaluate(() => { 
  return axe.run({ resultTypes: ['violations'], reporter });
});

axe-core version: 4.4.1

Hi @starsinmypockets,

When using @axe-core/reporter-earl with node's require module syntax you will need to do the following since the main export is a default export

const reporter = require('@axe-core/reporter-earl').default;

Please feel free to respond if further assistance is needed.

The import is just failing.

I am able to import the module as follows:

require('@axe-core/reporter-earl/dist/src/axeReporterEarl').default

but the run (in the code sample in the ticket description) doesn't export the report.
