Greetings. In the end, since typesense has such a straight forward HTTP API I just made a little deno module for my own personal use that does just what I needed: https://github.com/Sembiance/deno/blob/master/Typesense/Typesense.js

As for massaging the official library to support deno, I only took a cursory glance but replacing axios looked to be the biggest bulk of the work.
Ideally we could replace that with deno native fetch(), however deno has been working on full compatibility with NPM modules and hopes to have it usable within the next few months: https://deno.com/blog/deno-in-2021

Since I just needed some basic typesense functionally for my project, the little module I wrote satisfies my needs. In fact it was so smooth going I quietly wondered if maybe that would a better approach for an initial deno module, just building just a lightweight shim above the entire typesense HTTP API rather than trying to massage the official typescript lib

Looks like someone has made a deno client based on the official lib: https://github.com/bradenmacdonald/typesense-deno
