Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module

[dabitsr]

Getting the ERR_REQUIRE_ESM error when trying to import the module

Code: `const sspLib = require("encrypted-smiley-secure-protocol");

let eSSP = new sspLib({ id: 0x00, debug: false, timeout: 3000, fixedKey: "0000000000000000", });

eSSP .open("COM8") .then(() => console.log("Device connected!")) .catch((e) => console.log(Error: ${e}));`

Error: internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1153 throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, parentPath, packageJsonPath); ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: C:\Users\Coladaclean\Desktop\billetero\node_modules\random-prime\index.js require() of ES modules is not supported. require() of C:\Users\Coladaclean\Desktop\billetero\node_modules\random-prime\index.js from C:\Users\Coladaclean\Desktop\billetero\node_modules\encrypted-smiley-secure-protocol\index.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 C:\Users\Coladaclean\Desktop\billetero\node_modules\random-prime\index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from C:\Users\Coladaclean\Desktop\billetero\node_modules\random-prime\package.json.

Solved the issue deleting the "type" :"module" of the random-prime package.json
