Hi tried to install chalk on my very simple app and then i got error:
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module my-file-is-here and chalk\node_modules\chalk\source\index.js from my-file-is-here not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in my-file-is-here to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
at Object.<anonymous> (`my-file-is-here`) {
code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}
thats my code:
const os = require("os")
const chalk = require("chalk")
console.log("app running")
Think it's ES module and works in import way, but you can do something like this:
const { chalk } = require("chalk");
It worked for me when I worked with firebase in v8 style.
//First Change in you Package.json
"main": "app.js",
"type": "module",//use this line
//Second change in App.js
import os from 'os' // const os = require("os")
import chalk from 'chalk';//const chalk = require("chalk")
Chalk 5 has changed to ESM. They provide a link to better understand what that means: Pure ESM.
From chalk README:
IMPORTANT: Chalk 5 is ESM. If you want to use Chalk with TypeScript or a build tool, you will probably want to use Chalk 4 for now.
As of this reply, the last version of chalk 4 is 4.1.2.
That is something to do with the version you are using which is I think 5.0.0
npm uninstall chalkthen
npm i chalk@2.4.1now you can run your code
const chalk = require('chalk');
console.log(chalk.blue('Hello world!'));
Add "type": "module" to your package.json. Replace "main": "index.js" with "exports": "./index.js" in your package.json. Update the "engines" field in package.json to Node.js 12: "node": "^12.20.0 || ^14.13.1 || >=16.0.0". Remove 'use strict'; from all JavaScript files. Replace all require()/module.export with import/export. Use only full relative file paths for imports: import x from '.'; → import x from './index.js';. If you have a TypeScript type definition (for example, index.d.ts), update it to use ESM imports/exports. Optional but recommended, use the node: protocol for imports.
Step-1 npm uninstall chalk (delete all chalk files)
Step-2 npm install chalk@4.1.0
const chalk = require("chalk");
console.log(chalkl.green("Hello"));
Done🙌🏻
