Telegram client initialization nodejs

I try to initialize custom TelegramClient and use the code sample from the original library (TelegramClient.d.ts), so the error might be in package.json dependencies / index.js imports. Could you please help to solve that?

The comment from TelegramClient.d.ts:

/**
 * The TelegramClient uses several methods in different files to provide all the common functionality in a nice interface.</br>
 * **In short, to create a client you must do:**
 *
 * ```ts
 * import {TelegramClient} from "telegram";
 *
 * const client = new TelegramClient(new StringSession(''),apiId,apiHash,{});
 * ```
 *
 * You don't need to import any methods that are inside the TelegramClient class as they binding in it.
 */

index.js

const Promise = require('bluebird');
Promise.config({
    cancellation: true
});


const TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
const path = require('path');
const MTProto = require('@mtproto/core');
const ogs = require('open-graph-scraper');
const firebase = require('firebase-admin');

const TelegramClient = require('telegram')
const StringSession = require('telegram/sessions')


const api_id = 123456789;
const api_hash = 'somehashhere';

const client = new TelegramClient(new StringSession('') ,api_id, api_hash,{});

package.json

"dependencies": {
    "@mtproto/core": "6.1.1",
    "firebase-admin": "^10.0.1",
    "node-telegram-bot-api": "^0.56.0",
    "open-graph-scraper": "^4.11.0",
    "telegram-mtproto": "^2.2.2",
    "telegram": "^2.2.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/helper-compilation-targets": "^7.16.7"
  }

error:

const client = new TelegramClient(new StringSession('') ,api_id, api_hash,{});
                                  ^
