Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module not supported

[eodeluga]

// test.ts
import unleet from '@cityssm/unleet'

unleet('b@d w0rd')

If I run either yarn ts-node test.ts or yarn tsc test.ts && node test.js I get the following error:

var unleet_1 = require("@cityssm/unleet");
               ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/eodeluga/src/test/node_modules/@cityssm/unleet/index.js from /home/eodeluga/test/test.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /home/eodeluga/src/test/test.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/eodeluga/src/test/test.js:3:16) {
  code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

Node.js v18.18.0

Thanks for reaching out @eodeluga .

It looks like your TypeScript code, when compiled to JavaScript, ends up using require to import the module. require is not supported by unleet.

If your project allows, consider updating it to target a new version of JavaScript.

Thank you.

Only way I could solve this is by using tsx instead tsc.
