IPFS Angular11 ipfs-http-client new IpfsHttpClient = Error: export 'AbortController', Multiaddr

Hello I have issue with ipsf-http-client using angular. On return new IpfsHttpClient() I have missing Multiaddr, anySignal, AbortController and other exports. Also I have error: This expression is not constructable, (.../ipfs-http-client/types/src/index")' has no construct signatures. Please for hints how to solve it or how to correctly implement ipsf-http-client in angular application

Angular CLI: 12.1.4
Node: 14.17.3
Package Manager: npm 6.14.13
OS: win32 x64
Python: 3.10

inside tsconfig:

"skipLibCheck": true,
"target": "es2017",
"module": "es2020",
"lib": [
  "es2018",
  "dom",
  "DOM.Iterable",
  "es2015", 
  "es2015.iterable",
],
"paths" : {
  "crypto": ["./node_modules/crypto-browserify"],
  "stream": ["./node_modules/stream-browserify"],
  "assert": ["./node_modules/assert-plus"],
  "http": ["./node_modules/stream-http"],
  "https": ["./node_modules/https-browserify"],
  "os": ["./node_modules/os-browserify"],
},
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,

Below is main ipfs init token.

import { Injectable, InjectionToken, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import IpfsHttpClient from 'ipfs-http-client';

export const ipfsToken = new InjectionToken('The IPFS Token', {
  providedIn: 'root',
  factory: () => {
    try {
      return new IpfsHttpClient('ipfs.infura.io', '5001', {
        protocol: 'https'
      });
    } catch (err) {
      console.log('Error', err);
      throw new Error('Unable to access IPFS node daemon on Infura network');
    }
  }
});

I can prevent constructable error with solution below, but still I have Missing Multiaddr, anySignal, AbortController and other exports.

import { Injectable, InjectionToken, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import IpfsHttpClient from 'ipfs-http-client';

export const ipfsToken = new InjectionToken('The IPFS Token', {
  providedIn: 'root',
  factory: () => {
    let contextClass : any = IpfsHttpClient;
    let context: IpfsHttpClient.IPFSHTTPClient = new contextClass('ipfs.infura.io', '5001', {
        protocol: 'https'
      });

    try {
        console.log("IPFS");
        
      return context;
    } catch (err) {
      console.log('Error', err);
      throw new Error('Unable to access IPFS node daemon on Infura network');
    }
  }
});

After 2 days of getting the annoying Multiaddr , anySignal and AbortController not found in my ionic project, I noticed that I was using the wrong version of the ipfs package. Elaborate:

I installed ipfs with: npm install --save ipfs-http-client (I checked the package.json file in the project's working directory).

After removing the package.json ipfs section and node_module folder, I ran npm i ipfs-http-client@52.0.4-rc.4 and reinstalled all packages using npm install . This time it worked without any errors.
