Must use import to load ES Module

[IzioDev]

Hello,

I just installed this package, which by the way, seems to be the only one that does truncation and is currently maintained.

However, I have an issue while using this package inside my Next.Js application (in Typescript).

Here is how I import the package :

import cliTruncate from "cli-truncate";
// I also tried
import * as cliTruncate from "cli-truncate";

And here is the error on runtime:

Error: Must use import to load ES Module: D:\workspace\my-app\node_modules\cli-truncate\index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of D:\workspace\my-app\node_modules\cli-truncate\index.js from D:\workspace\my-app\packages\website\.next\server\pages\blog.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from D:\workspace\my-app\node_modules\cli-truncate\package.json.

Do you have any idea why is this happening?

@sindresorhus As you can see, I'm not requiring. I'm using the import syntax to load ES module.

Yes, but Next.js transpiles it down to require calls by default.

Alright. Will fork and adapt, thanks.
