Fetch is not Defined-CodePudding

I'm very new to Javascript and just built my very first bot, I try to run my bot and it WORKS! But when I use the discord command it crashes on Repl.it. I have done npm install node-fetch but that doesn't seem to be working either. Here is the error:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/runner/myrepl/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js from /home/runner/myrepl/index.js not supported.
Instead change the require of /home/runner/myrepl/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js in /home/runner/myrepl/index.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

}
repl process died unexpectedly: exit status 1

My Index.js is:

    node-fetch(`https://www.rolimons.com/uaid/`   id).then(res => res.text()).then(res => {
      //// clog(res)

I am SO SO CLOSE to completing my very first bot please help! Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the solution to avoid esm issues with node-fetch.

npm i node-fetch@2

CodePudding user response：

It was hard to find, but after alot of searching I found a way it would work. This worked:

const fetch = (...args) => import('node-fetch').then(({default: fetch}) => fetch(...args));
