Just some ideas:

  1. add allowSyntheticDefaultImports: true to your tsconfig
  2. DON’T USE fs this is not useable in browsers (so unless your writing a Angular page for electron don’t use fs)

Instead of fs you have to use the fetch api to get the .docx file from your server or use <input type="file"> to get the file or the new Native Filesystem API (see https://caniuse.com/?search=native file )
