Usage in a Node/Expressapplication

[lsliwaradioluz]

I am trying to use @storyblok/richtext in my NodeJS/Express application. Previously I was using storybloj-js-client/richtext but it is now deprecated. However, when running my compiled Node application with the node command, I am getting the following error:

require() of ES Module @storyblok/richtext/dist/storyblok-richtext.umd.js from @vsf-enterprise/storyblok-api/server/index.js
not supported. storyblok-richtext.umd.js is treated as an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains \"type\": \"module\" which declares all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.

Expected Behavior

Library works in a Node.js application which uses CommonJS

Current Behavior

Judging by the presence of the exports.require field in your library's package.json, I assume your intention was to support both browser and Node environments. However, to make it work in our Node application, I had to make the following changes to your library's package.json and symlink it in my project:

I can see there has already been a similar issue raised but it was closed immediately by the author. That makes me wonder if there is any other solution to the problem and reason behind using umd.js in the exports.require.

Steps to Reproduce

Please, let me know if you need those - I can prepare a sample Node app which reproduces the behaviour.
