Error: require() of ES Module - Instead change the require of index.js in applicationMutation.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

[alan345]

Hello,

When in the backend (Express) with Typescript,
I do this

npm install @passwordless-id/webauthn

then:

import { server } from '@passwordless-id/webauthn'
const applicationMutation = {
  createPasskeyApplication: async (_parent: unknown, args: Args, ctx: Ctx): Promise<Application> => {
     const registrationParsed = await server.verifyRegistration(args, expected)
  }
}

When I compile, I have this error:

[ERROR] 18:29:27 Error: require() of ES Module /Users/alan/Documents/app/backend/server/graphql/node_modules/@passwordless-id/webauthn/dist/esm/index.js from /Users/alan/Documents/app/backend/server/graphql/src/resolvers/mutation/applicationMutation.ts not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/alan/Documents/app/backend/server/graphql/src/resolvers/mutation/applicationMutation.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
(node:22269) NOTE: We are formalizing our plans to enter AWS SDK for JavaScript (v2) into maintenance mode in 2023.

Any idea where this issue might come from?
Thanks fro your help!

Too old target or node version perhaps?
