Awkward property access .default when using default export folder structure

Hey,

I've come across a situation where I'm required to access the API object in a mutation using .default.

Relevant code:
import { useMutation } from "convex/react";
import { api } from "@/convex/_generated/api";
                                               ↓↓↓↓↓
const storeUser = useMutation(api.users.store.default);
import { useMutation } from "convex/react";
import { api } from "@/convex/_generated/api";
                                               ↓↓↓↓↓
const storeUser = useMutation(api.users.store.default);

In my store.ts file, I'm exporting the mutation as a default export. However, I find the usage of .default in the useMutation hook to be a bit awkward. I'm wondering if there's a way around this, or if there's a different recommended approach for accessing the API object in a mutation.

Folder structure:
convex/
├── _generated/
│   ├── api.ts
│   └── dataModel.ts
├── users/
│   └── store.ts ← ← ← ←
convex/
├── _generated/
│   ├── api.ts
│   └── dataModel.ts
├── users/
│   └── store.ts ← ← ← ←


Just a mild annoyance, when trying to keep things neat.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
