 -   [ ] If have added a new web framework, update the `add-ts-no-check.js` file to include that
 -   [ ] If added a new recipe / api interface, then make sure that the implementation of it uses NON arrow functions only (like `someFunc: function () {..}`).
 -   [ ] If added a new recipe, then make sure to expose it inside the recipe folder present in the root of this repo. We also need to expose its types.
+-   [ ] If added a new entry point, then make sure that it is importable by adding it to the `exports` in `package.json`

+-   Defined the entry points of the library using the "exports" field in package.json to make ESM imports more comfortable. This can cause some issues for applications using directory imports from the `lib/build` directory. In those cases we recommend adding `index.js` to the import path.
