how to use ora with an index.ts

[webdevproformation]

Hello
I would like to use ora (version6) with a index.ts file instead of index.ts file.

i am trying to use a typescript file to launch the spinner in my terminal :

// npm init --yes
// npm install ora
// npm install -D @types/ora ts-node typescript
// tsc --init

// in the package.json file i add : "type": "module",
// in the tsconfig.json file i have : "module": "commonjs" and "moduleResolution": "node"

// here the content of my index.ts
//--------------------------
import ora from 'ora';

const spinner = ora('Loading unicorns').start();

setTimeout(() => {
spinner.color = 'yellow';
spinner.text = 'Loading rainbows';
}, 1000);

//--------------------------

when i try exec my code with npx ts-node index.ts
here is the message

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module:

C:\Users\harri\Desktop\lucca\node_modules\ora\index.js require()
of ES modules is not supported.

require() of
C:\Users\harri\Desktop\lucca\node_modules\ora\index.js from
C:\Users\harri\Desktop\lucca\index.ts 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.

Instead rename index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or
remove "type": "module" from C:\Users\harri\Desktop\lucca\node_modules\ora\package.json.
