dateformat npm package giving error on node server restart

Question

I am using dateformat npm package of version 4.5.1 and getting error on server restart as

server must be sue import to load ES module
usr/src/app/nodemodules/dateformat/lib/dateformat.js | require() ES module is not supported

Answer 1

I got the same error while using the dateformat package. Then tried a different version which is dateformat@4.6.3 and it worked!

Run the following command in the terminal:

npm i dateformat@4.6.3

Example code:

var dateFormat = require('dateformat');
var now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, "dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM:ss TT");

I think the problem is with your package.json file. You need to import statement instead of require. Or else try this Here
