import 6.0.1 TS project issue

Hi

imported "helmet": "^6.0.1" into express ts node project and faced the following error; Not sure why it would refer to the CJS module when I am using

import helmet from "helmet";

TS1479: The current file is a CommonJS module whose imports will produce 'require' calls; however, the referenced file is an ECMAScript module and cannot be imported with 'require'. Consider writing a dynamic 'import("helmet")' call instead.   To convert this file to an ECMAScript module, change its file extension to '.mts', or add the field "type": "module" to ...

uploaded tsconfig
tsconfig copy.json.txt

thanks for taking a look

I've been working on fixes for this. Could you try this beta version to see if it works for you?

npm install "https://evanhahn.com/tape/helmet-6.0.1.tgz"

(See #405 for more details.)

hi

that was fast

Sadly it didnt work for my tsconfig.

[EvanHahn]

What happens if you use "module": "nodenext" in your tsconfig?

[deckikwok]

hmm doesnt work too

[EvanHahn]

It's a little hard for me to figure out what's going wrong. Could you create a sample project that reproduces the issue? It probably just has a package.json, a tsconfig.json, and an app.ts file.

ok worked with module:commonjs

Glad you solved it. I'll see if I can improve this for other people in the future.
