Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module from main.ts not supported. #595

Closed kostia-lev closed 2 months ago

kostia-lev commented 2 months ago

I use Electron and in main.ts: import { JSONFile } from 'lowdb/node'; import { Low } from 'lowdb';

app .whenReady() .then( () => new Low( new JSONFile<{ dogs: any; cats: string[] }>( ${app.getPath('userData')}/db.json, ), { coins: [], accounts: {}, }, ), )

I get error: Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module from main.ts not supported. Instead change the require of node.js in main.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Strange error, you are using an ESM import, so no idea why it asks you for it. Consider trying this package: lowdb-js. It's a small personal adaptation for compatibility.

thank you for a reply. I found why. This https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react-boilerplate#readme boilerplate does not support latest versions of dependencies. I would need to downgrade version.
