Fix CJS compatibility

[FurryR]

Proposed Changes

Ensure compatibility with some CDNs & bundlers on some CJS libraries.

jsDelivr translates const { nanoid } = require('nanoid') directly into import e from 'nanoid/+esm'; const { nanoid } = e, which is problematic and causes some libraries fail to load.

Here is an example using postcss:

await import('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/postcss@8.4.41/+esm')

Additional Information

1. We also have url-alphabet
2. Please run eslint --fix .
3. I really worry that it could break something else. Can you test that this method doesn’t break Vite and webpack (you can add version from your branch by npm install --save-dev nanoid@FurryR/nanoid

1. Sorry that I considered url-alphabet a private file. I will add default export for it later.
2. okay I will do that later
3. It seemed that adding a default export is not a breaking change at all, but I am unsure if the type description files (.d.ts) need to be updated. Anyway, I will take a look.

Tested with pnpm start. This PR does not break Vite.

const { nanoid } = require('nanoid')

But Nano ID 4.x and 5.x don’t support require(). If you are using CJS you need 3.x version. We have a special branch for it.

@ai any way you can guys ship this? I was trying using nanoId with typescript the problem is that when I transpile and push the code to google app engine, it says that the require() is not supported. Maybe you have a workaround instead of needing this PR?

[ai]

@ferreiro as I told I need some investigation that it will not break in many possible cases where Nano ID is used.

If you need it, please help to the community.

Hmm. weird. If you access https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nanoid@3.3.7/non-secure/+esm you will see.

Anyway, I will close this PR and wait for a better workaround. Thank you all guys.
