Problem with load an ES module in the package.json

[edsamodra]

Hi @UrielCh and @bnjunge, Currently I am developing my project using the proxmox-api package. I think this project contributed to my project. However, I have a warning here.

[1] (node:8232) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
[1] (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
[1] C:\Users\user\project\node_modules\proxmox-api\dist\esm\index.js:16
[1] export { proxmoxApi as default } from './constructor.js';
[1] ^^^^^^

It is not complicated to solve. I added this in the package.json file and then solved it. I wonder if can I merge this into your project. Or is there any alternative way around it? Thanks

{
  "name": "proxmox-api",
  "type": "module",
  "version": "1.0.2",
  ...
}

I will double check that. pushing module compatible with ESM and commonJS, use to cause some issues.

Okay, I got it

In some cases you need to modify package.json to use it as an ESM or normal CommonJS,

for using as ESM you will use :
import proxmoxApi from 'proxmox-api'
and to use it as CommonJS you wil use it as :
const proxmoxApi = require('proxmox-api').proxmoxApi;

it works perfectly!

Hi,

I'm experiencing issues with CommonJS/ESM that are only apparent when using TypeScript.

I seldom use the require syntax.

I need to conduct some tests to ensure that PR #23 does not have any side effects on CommonJS TypeScript projects.

Please excuse my delayed response time, as I am currently without housing.
