I used in ts also import like this

const { Bard } = await import("googlebard")

So i'm workaround

const { Bard } = await (eval('import("googlebard")') as Promise<typeof import('googlebard')>)

its works any suggestions?

GoogleBard does not support CommonJS as of now so you cannot use require(). Instead you need to use ESM import to use it in your file as mentioned by the error logs:require() of ES Module....not supported and Instead change the require of index.js in E:\lab\node\line-chatgpt\src\index.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

I think you might be doing this -

const bard = require('googlebard')

Instead try this -

const { Bard } = await import("googlebard")

Can you show me the source code in case this isn't the problem you're facing?

@thititongumpun can you try importing like this import { Bard } from "googlebard"; it is working fine for me;

@thititongumpun can you try importing like this import { Bard } from "googlebard"; it is working fine for me;

I think he wants to use other CommonJS modules as well. That is what the error logs say. In that case, using this wont work unless the type has been set to module in the package.json file. But that would result in the code not working since he might be using other modules as well. But if that is not the case then this should be the right way to do it.

Otherwise I think his error is resolved because that is what he said in the comment above.

Cant use type: module in package.json. It will throw cant solve ts file. I used only express in typescript. AS .js import { Bard } from "googlebard" it is working fine for me.

You can use a dynamic import, if import("..") doesn't work for you:

const importDynamic = new Function('modulePath', 'return import(modulePath)')

And then use it in a async function, like so:

async function main() {
    const importDynamic = new Function('modulePath', 'return import(modulePath)')
    const {Bard} = await importDynamic("googlebard")
}
