Can I use 'import' instead of 'require'?

Prerequisites

• [x ] I'm using the last version.
• [ x] My node version is the same as declared as package.json.

Subject of the issue

I'm trying to convert the 'require' syntax shown in the documentation to 'import', but not having any luck. Here's my code:

import createMetaScraper from 'metascraper';
import metascraperAuthor from 'metascraper-author';

const metascraper = createMetaScraper([metascraperAuthor()]);

This gives me the following error:

TypeError: (0 , metascraper_author_1.default) is not a function

Not sure where I'm going wrong? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The library is using CJS, it's not ready for ESM.

I think it must be possible if you load https://github.com/standard-things/esm first.
