next js - error: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I have a very simple fetcher that I’m setting up like so:

import ky from 'ky-universal';

const fetchFromApi = ky.extend({
  prefixUrl: process.env.BE_API_ROOT_DOMAIN,
});

export default fetchFromApi;

Which is giving the following error:

Can’t put my finger on it… Any ideas?

@husayt that’s what we had previously. You can use ky-universal v0.8.2 or below if you need CommonJS support. We dropped it because Node 14 and above support ES modules and that’s what everything should be going forward. That matters because as of last October, Node 14 is the active LTS version. We waited long enough, it is time for the community to make the transition. Tell the Next.js folks you want ESM support.

@rommyarb yes, I would recommend doing npm install ky@0.25 ky-universal@0.8

Those versions support CommonJS and should work fine.
