Convert Require to Import

I am currently working on a Discord.js Bot in replit. The example code I found, which I used to get started with the bot, begins with this line of code.
const { Client, Intents, Message } = require('discord.js'); const client = new Client( { intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] } ); I am trying to style the console/terminal output with chalk. However, Chalk requires ESM. To fix this, I go into package.json and add "type":"module". At this point, the chalk works, but not discord.js, because it uses require(). How would I change the require into an import line?

Solution

  • you can try using package named bable, as it will compile your code down into supported one. you can read about it here https://github.com/babel/babel
