require from nodejs and webpack are not similar

Consider the following code:

var reduceReducers = require('reduce-reducers');
console.log(reduceReducers.default);

Running this code in node.js with node index.js, the output is undefined.

When processed with webpack with the following configuration:

module.exports = {
    mode: 'development',
    entry: {
        index: './index.js'
    },
    output: {
        filename: 'index.js'
    }
};

And executed in node.js with node dist/index.js, then the output is [Function].

In the file lib/index.js, replacing module.exports = exports['default'] with module.exports = exports makes the whole thing work.

Am I missing something?

When transpiling for Node.js, can you please try using --esModuleInterop true on the CLI?

Looks like it solves my problem. I have the same format on both sides now. I did not know this option as the project exists since typescript 1 and this was added with typescript 2.7. Thanks for your help !
