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

[berkobob]

I'm getting the error message:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module not supported
Instead change the require to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

When I try and require ora:

const ora = require('ora')

I'm using node v16.9.0

Same to me

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /home/dm/code/mock-ui/packages/server/node_modules/ora/index.js

server: require() of /home/dm/code/mock-ui/packages/server/node_modules/ora/index.js from /home/dm/code/mock-ui/packages/server/lib/server.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.

注意当前加载模块的规则是哪种？
一种是 ES6 模块，简称 ESM；
另一种是 Node.js 专用的 CommonJS 模块，简称 CJS。
这两种模块不兼容。

//  在commonJS模块，可以使用 await import()

;(async () => {
  const ora = await (await import('ora')).default
  const spinner = ora('正在发布到服务器...')
  // enjoy your code
})

writing like this will looks better

getSpinner(txt = "") {
    const { default: ora } = await import("ora");
    return ora(txt);
  }

const ora = require('ora')
依赖版本使用这个 "ora": "^5.4.0"
