    My first impression is that it says you’re trying to load an ES Module using a CommonJS require() call. Evidently from your code snippet, that’s not the case. My guess would be that Typescript is transpiling your code to CommonJS modules, and that the library you’re trying to import only exports ES modules (or at-least that’s what NodeJS is trying to import for one reason or another).

    You may have to modify something in your tsconfig.json file to tell it to transpile to ESM instead of CommonJS.
