Build error occurred: require() of ES modules is not supported

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I followed the tutorial to install Umami and I have the following error when I try to build (npm run build):

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: C:\Users\Benjamin\Documents\Développement\umami\node_modules\d3-array\src\index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of C:\Users\Benjamin\Documents\Développement\umami\node_modules\d3-array\src\index.js from C:\Users\Benjamin\Documents\Développement\umami\node_modules\d3-geo\dist\d3-geo.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 index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from C:\Users\Benjamin\Documents\Développement\umami\node_modules\d3-array\package.json.

}

I have the same problem on two different environments. Node v14.17.0 Npm 7.16.0

this is due to the new d3-array update

so to resolve the build error, downgrade d3-array:

add "d3-array": "^2.12.1" to "devDependencies" in packages.json
then run npm install

Looks like this is an issue with Next.js, https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/23725
