import-cwd's Issues

Does this work with ESM?

I'm trying to use import-cwd with eslint and I think they have moved to ESM on their newest release 🤔

When I try to import-cwd I get the following error:

/Users/mansona/git/projects/lint-to-the-future/lint-to-the-future-eslint/node_modules/esm/esm.js:1
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /Users/mansona/git/qonto/qonto-js/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/universal.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /Users/mansona/git/qonto/qonto-js/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/universal.js from /Users/mansona/git/qonto/qonto-js/node_modules/eslint/lib/linter/linter.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.
Instead rename universal.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /Users/mansona/git/qonto/qonto-js/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/package.json.

It could be because I'm using the esm module but I'm not sure why it was working before and suddenly stopped working 🤔
