Peer dependency issue: The requested module 'astring' is expected to be of type CommonJS ...

• mdx-bundler version: 3.1.2
• node version: 14.12.0
• npm version: 7.5.4
• NextJS version: 10.06

Hi 👋 I just gave this a try on my NextJS based site and ended up with the following error when trying to run the build or a specific MDX based page in development mode. Pretty sure it’s not directly related to mdx-bundler itself so if that’s the case feel free to close the issue. I assume this might be related to my version of node, so maybe it will be a blocker for other people and would require to add a set of compatible Node versions in the README of this project

SyntaxError: The requested module 'astring' is expected to be of type CommonJS, which does not support named exports. CommonJS modules can be imported by importing the default export.
For example:
import pkg from 'astring';
const {baseGenerator, generate} = pkg;

Relevant code or config. Here’s an excerpt of my mdx bundling related code:

  const source = fs.readFileSync(
    path.join(root, typeToPath[type], `${slug}.mdx`),
    'utf8'
  );

  const resultMDX = await bundleMDX(source, {
    files: {},
    xdmOptions(_, options) {
      options.remarkPlugins = [
        ...(options.remarkPlugins ?? []),
        require('remark-slug'),
        require('remark-autolink-headings'),
        remarkSectionize,
        remarkFigure,
      ];

      options.rehypePlugins = [];

      return options;
    },
    esbuildOptions(options) {
      options.minify = false;
      options.target = [
        'es2020',
        'chrome58',
        'firefox57',
        'safari11',
        'edge16',
        'node12',
      ];

      return options;
    },
  });

What you did:

Tried to bundle some MDX file on my current NextJS setup and ended up with the error above. This also happens when trying out the example

What happened:

The error above prevents me from rendering the page

Reproduction repository: https://github.com/MaximeHeckel/blog.maximeheckel.com/tree/next-mdx-bundler

Pushed a branch of my project with the current setup:

2. Run yarn
3. Run yarn dev
4. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/posts/learning-in-public/ for example see the error in the CLI
