Package is incomaptible with vite due to https://vitejs.dev/guide/troubleshooting.html#module-externalized-for-browser-compatibility

Using the package with vite reports an error which points to this specific line in the code:

lastfm-ts-api/src/api-request.ts

Line 69 in 62fbe45

const paramsStr = stringify(paramsObj);

the vite docs say that it's due to of the use of a node module inside of a browser:

"This is because Vite does not automatically polyfill Node.js modules."
The vite docs recommend patching the package with pnpm patch

Probably finding an alternative to these imports is the apparent solution:

lastfm-ts-api/src/api-request.ts

Lines 1 to 3 in 62fbe45

	import { createHash } from 'node:crypto';
	import { parse, stringify } from 'node:querystring';
	import { request, RequestOptions } from 'node:https';

Improvements

1. The return types of all methods should be added/updated.
2. The usage should be improved.
