webpack bundle error

webpack 5.66.0 compiled successfully in 3940 ms
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: xxx/node_modules/chatgpt/build/index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of xxx/node_modules/chatgpt/build/index.js from xxx/dist/src/modules/chat/Chat.service.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 index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from xxx/node_modules/chatgpt/package.json.

From the readme:

async function example() {
  // To use ESM in CommonJS, you can use a dynamic import
  const { ChatGPTAPI } = await import('chatgpt')

  const api = new ChatGPTAPI({
    sessionToken: process.env.SESSION_TOKEN
  })
  await api.ensureAuth()

  const response = await api.sendMessage('Hello World!')
  console.log(response)
}

(This project does not support commonjs exports because they are deprecated for all intents and purposes and it is a huge pain for maintainers to support.)

Here's a solid guide on other ways to use ESM modules like chatgpt.

@PengBoUESTC ESM modules can import commonjs modules, but commonjs cannot synchronously import ESM modules.

that's may be my fault, build tool transform import to require

I believe it was the case with "vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder": "~2.1.1"

This solved it for me!
