Request for ETA on New Release Supporting Axios 1.x Version

The howfat library is currently incompatible with axios@1.x because it uses the CommonJS require('axios') syntax in src/utils/http/HttpClient.js. Since axios@1.x has migrated to ES Modules (ESM), require('axios') is no longer supported and causes runtime errors.

Affected Code

In src/utils/http/HttpClient.js:

const { default: Axios } = require('axios');

This usage results in the following error when attempting to use axios@1.x:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module is not supported

Steps to Reproduce Install howfat and axios@1.x in a Node.js project: npm install howfat axios@1.6.3 Attempt to use howfat in your code. Observe the runtime error indicating incompatibility with ES Modules.

Expected Behavior howfat should support axios@1.x by replacing the require('axios') syntax with the ES Modules import syntax:

import Axios from 'axios';

Proposed Solution Update all instances of require('axios') in the codebase to use import: import Axios from 'axios'; Update the package.json file to specify a peer dependency on axios@^1.0.0 to ensure compatibility: "peerDependencies": { "axios": "^1.0.0" }

Additional Context axios@1.x introduces security updates and new features, making it essential for modern applications to adopt. Many projects that rely on howfat may already be upgrading to axios@1.x, and this issue blocks their migration.

Request Please update the howfat codebase to support axios@1.x. If required, I’m happy to provide additional details or contribute a pull request to address this issue.

Environment Node.js Version: [e.g., 16.x or 18.x] Axios Version: 1.6.3 howfat Version: 0.3.8 Operating System: [e.g., macOS, Windows, or Linux]

I can't reproduce it:

echo '{"name": "test-package"}' > package.json
echo "require('howfat')" > index.js
npm i howfat axios@1.6.3
node index.js

Works with no issues, where axios@0.26.1 is installed correctly as the howfat's dependency:

  ├─┬ axios@0.26.1 (1 dep, 418.18kb, 57 files, ©MIT)

$ jq '.version' node_modules/howfat/node_modules/axios/package.json
"0.26.1"
$ jq '.version' node_modules/axios/package.json
"1.6.3"

Maybe someday I'll rewrite it to ESM, but I have no such a plan currently.
