Move to "import" broke things

See original GitHub issue

typescript compiles fine, but I get these errors when I run. I am not willing to change package.json to make this work.

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1109
      throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, parentPath, packageJsonPath);
      ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /home/mesoic/Desktop/chainlink/node-operator-management/pegswap/node_modules/log-symbols/index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.

I don’t think this issue should have been closed.

After reading the release notes we get:

This package is now pure ESM. Please read this. After following the link we get to https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c

even after following the instruction there, I could not get my package to work as ESM. Even if one can afford to completely re-vamp their project and move away from CommonJS and assuming all the libraries you have work with the change (not all will), there are cases where this does not work. If you are using this tool to build a CLI for example, then new package won’t be installed as an executable when using -g.

I think at least bug fixes should be ported to v4 as it works with CommonJS. I ended up installing "log-symbols": "4.1.0"

When I am trying to import ‘log-symbols’: import logSymbols from 'log-symbols';

I am getting an error:

import chalk from ‘chalk’; ^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
