Must use import to load ES Module: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/dateformat/lib/dateformat.js require() of ES modules is not supported

[15:54] Jasveer Singh
    
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1089
      throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, parentPath, packageJsonPath);
      ^


Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/dateformat/lib/dateformat.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/dateformat/lib/dateformat.js from /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/yeoman-environment/lib/util/binary-diff.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 dateformat.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/dateformat/package.json.
