I have an error message when launching an express app-CodePudding

I have this code, that should normally work :

import express from "express";
import nunjucks from "nunjucks";
import fetch from "node-fetch";

const app = express();

app.use(express.static("public"));

nunjucks.configure("views", {
  autoescape: true,
  express: app,
});
app.set("view engine", "njk");

app.get("/", (req, response) => {
  fetch("https://swapi.dev/api/")
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) =>
      console.log(data)
      // response.render("home", { categories: data }
    )
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Server started on http://localhost:3000");
});

but when I try to run it with ts-node src/index.ts, i have this error :

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /mnt/c/Users/me/Desktop/CODE/sw-api/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js from /mnt/c/Users/me/Desktop/CODE/sw-api/src/index.ts not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /mnt/c/Users/me/Desktop/CODE/sw-api/src/index.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

    at Object.<anonymous> (/mnt/c/Users/me/Desktop/CODE/sw-api/node_modules/ts-node/dist/bin.js:351:5) {
  code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

I don't quite understand, cause i don't use require() to import my modules

Could anyone help me ? Thank you

CodePudding user response：

If you haven't, try updating package.json with "type": "module". Also take a look at the following: Error: require() of ES modules is not supported when importing node-fetch and Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module not supported.
