Only being able to use in nestjs with peerDependencies

[EBBach]

Problems

I and @yukinoda work on a nestjs project but when I import string-width it return Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module

How to reproduce

I create a simple project for demo of the problem here.

import stringWidth from 'string-width';
console.log(stringWidth('a'));

When running nestjs I got this error

$ yarn start
yarn run v1.22.17
$ nest start

/home/bach/Workspace/tmp/demo-nest/dist/main.js:5
const string_width_1 = require("string-width");
                       ^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/bach/Workspace/tmp/demo-nest/node_modules/string-width/index.js from /home/bach/Workspace/tmp/demo-nest/dist/main.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /home/bach/Workspace/tmp/demo-nest/dist/main.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Workaround

The problem will be solved if I use peerDependencies instead of dependencies for adding string-width

...
  },
  "peerDependencies": {
    "string-width": "^5.1.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
...

Question

Is there anyways to add string-width to dependencies in this case? Because I want to avoid peerDependencies
