with active require(esm) Node.js no longer resolves error ERR_REQUIRE_ESM off if require() Used to load ES modules. However, there is a possibility of error ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE Occurs when a top-level wait occurs in a module or its dependencies. Successfully loaded ES modules return the corresponding namespace object util.isModuleNamespaceObject() Can be checked.
users can with process.features.require_module Check if the feature is enabled in the current Node.js instance. For packages, the “module-sync” export status allows both require() as well as importTo load the same basic ES module. More information can be found in the documentation.
