[question] import Plot in Node.js ERR_REQUIRE_ESM

[dawadam]

Hi, thanks for the great library.
Is it possible to use it only with Node JS?
I try to import like this:

import Plot from '@observablehq/plot'

But the error is:

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

Instead change the require of [...] to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Why is normal import not working?

Did you follow the documentation?
https://observablehq.com/plot/getting-started#installing-from-npm

npm install @observablehq/plot

You can then load Plot into your app as:

import * as Plot from "@observablehq/plot";

Yes, I read a lot the documentation.
This is the first method I tried.
This works on the client side, using vue.js, but not on the server side using node.js
I also use TypeScript, maybe an error comes from there.

Please read this guide on ES modules: https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c

You probably need to add "type": "module" to your package.json file.
