require() of ES Module (.\node_modules\imagemin-svgo\index.js) from (.\node_modules\next-optimized-images\lib\loaders\img-loader.js) not supported.

Hi,

I am getting wired error while trying to use next-optimised-images for nextjs12.x and node16.13.0

require() of ES Module (.\node_modules\imagemin-svgo\index.js) from (.\node_modules\next-optimized-images\lib\loaders\img-loader.js) not supported.

Not able to build the project.

Same here. Here is the full output:

> Build error occurred
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/jbaczuk/Development/Personal/jordan-baczuk/node_modules/imagemin-svgo/index.js from /Users/jbaczuk/Development/Personal/jordan-baczuk/node_modules/next-optimized-images/lib/loaders/img-loader.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/jbaczuk/Development/Personal/jordan-baczuk/node_modules/next-optimized-images/lib/loaders/img-loader.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

The solution is to downgrade imagemin-svgo to version 9.0.0. The latest version (10.0.0) has ES module support only, therefore is not compatible with next-optimized-images package (this package still uses require imports, not ES module import syntax)

I also had to downgrade "imagemin-mozjpeg": "9.0.0", from version 10.0.0 to get this to work
