Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: lodash-es\lodash.js

Describe the bug I’m trying to use lodash-es like this:

import { debounce } from 'lodash-es'

//...debounce using it

but I’m getting the below error.

Logs

1:37:22 AM [vite] Error when evaluating SSR module /src/routes/players/_cmp/SearchBar.svelte:
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: C:\kit\node_modules\lodash-es\lodash.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of C:\kit\node_modules\lodash-es\lodash.js from C:\kit\node_modules\vite\dist\node\chunks\dep-e9a16784.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename lodash.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from C:\kit\node_modules\lodash-es\package.json.

To Reproduce Use lodash-es in a new svelte-kit skeleton (with init).

Severity This is really annoying.

@frederikhors I’ve had issues with lodash-es and have worked around the issue by sticking with version 4.17.15 instead of the latest 4.17.21 in the interim. I believe esm compatibility is a known issue with lodash.

I’ve also had issues with d3-format and have stayed on 2.0.0 instead of 3.0.0

Wow. All this is scary!

For now I’m using import debounce from 'lodash/debounce.js' instead of import { debounce } from 'lodash-es'.
