Can't get const {v3: uuidV4 } = require('uuid') to work in project
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug
On node v16.14.2
trying to update an older project’s npm packages to their latest.
on uuid@7.0.3 this works
const { v4: uuidV4 } = require('uuid');
console.log(uuidV4());
v7.0.3 https://codesandbox.io/s/node-playground-forked-6u253w
changed from
const uuid = require(uuid')
console.log(uuid.v4);
However as soon as I install uuid@8.3.2
I get this error from winston | 2022-05-17T17:35:45.953Z error: ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED;
and this in codesandbox.io
ModuleNotFoundError: Could not find module in path: 'uuid/dist/esm-browser/stringify.js' relative to '/node_modules/uuid/dist/esm-browser/v1.js'

Expected behavior
That the default way to require a module would work and wouldn’t have to change EVERY OTHER require in the project to an import for this to work going forward.
You 8.0.0 change log https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#800-2020-04-29 even suggests doing it this way.

I did find the issue, there where other places in my code that was requiring uuid/v4 and I never found it when I did a search for ‘uuid’.
those other references switched to
const { v4: uuidV4 } = require('uuid');fixed my issue.Closing, pending further investigation. Let us know what you find and we’ll reopen if appropriate.
