ERR_REQUIRE_ESM error

See original GitHub issue

My webpack config is an esmodule, so because eslint-plugin-import-webpack is using require(), I get:

Resolve error: Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: ./webpack.config.js require() of ES modules is not supported.

And things fail.

Any way you can support ESM webpack config files?

@kemaakpala no. Stick to CJS (or transpiled ESM) for many reasons, including this issue.

@ljharb is there anyway to get arround this, apart from having to revert my webpack config files.
