Compatibility broken with meilisearch due to renaming of exported name 'MeiliSearch'

[drale2k]

Description
meilisearch v0.57.0 (#2144) renamed the primary export from MeiliSearch to Meilisearch (lowercase 's') and removed the old name. @meilisearch/instant-meilisearch v0.30.0 still imports the old name, causing a runtime error:

SyntaxError: The requested module 'meilisearch' does not provide an export named 'MeiliSearch'

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Meilisearch version: latest cloud
• instant-meilisearch version: v0.30.0

Sorry about this. The version should have been pinned. I'll take a look.

I looked into the issue, and @meilisearch/instant-meilisearch v0.30.0 actually correctly pins its meilisearch dependency to 0.54.x in its package.json.

The SyntaxError you are seeing might happen if your package manager forces the resolution of the meilisearch package to the newer 0.57.0 version, e.g., to avoid using different versions in your project if you're also using meilisearch directly.

Anyway, I'll bump the internal dependency on meilisearch to avoid others running into the same issue.

Thanks. After digging in a bit i figured what's going on. Runing a rails app with importmaps, which resolves dependencies via jspm.io CDN, which doesn't respect the version constraints in instant-meilisearch package.json. So when pinning @meilisearch/instant-meilisearch@0.30.0, the CDN pulled meilisearch@0.57.0 (latest) instead of the expected 0.54.0.

Since there's no bundler or node_modules — just direct ESM imports in the browser — the version lock is effectively ignored.
