Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module about chalk

[arthurwolf]

Ok for reference, I found the solution again, it's here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70309135/chalk-error-err-require-esm-require-of-es-module and it goes:

    npm uninstall chalk
    npm i [email protected]

Thanks for the quick reply.

So, this says

Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package.

(this is also what ChatGPT said to do)

The problem with that, is that I follow the chalk documentation, so I'm in fact already using import ...

From my code:

import chalk               from 'chalk';

So what is going on here ??

Check that TS isn't compiling import statements as CJS require calls. Beyond that this is really a question for TS/node-ts, not chalk.

OK so chalk is one of these militant ESM only packages moving forward and basically incompatible with typescript for now?
awesome job guys.

ESM and typescript are extremely compatible. Perhaps not taking such a negative tone with people you don't know and provide you source code for free would get you further, too.

Everything in this thread that needs to be said has been. At this point if you have problems with typescript and ESM I suggest Google.
