Nuxt 3: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json

See original GitHub issue

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch @popperjs/core@2.10.2 for the project I’m working on.

I tried to use popper in Nuxt 3 project, but I found a problem with importing createPopper:

(node:11549) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
/Users/lukaszflorczak/project/node_modules/@popperjs/core/lib/enums.js:1
export var top = 'top';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Here is the diff that solved my problem:
