Another question: Is there any way I can get access to a package from NPM which is purely ESM. Im currently looking at this package: <https://www.npmjs.com/package/bcp-47>

I guess i can use an older version which is not ESM only. But that isn't really great.

Have you by any chance figured out how to use the ESM-only packages in Kotlin/js?

It's supported and it works
You can find multiple examples in <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers|https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers>

If you have problems with concrete library - please describe your concrete problem

would appreciate a pointer to a specific example out of those packages!
will describe my problem below

• I’m trying to use alfy - <https://github.com/sindresorhus/alfy>
• portions of gradle file:
```plugins {
    kotlin("js") version "1.7.10"
}
...

dependencies {
...
    implementation(npm("alfy", "1.0.0"))
...
}

kotlin {
    js(IR) {
        binaries.executable()
        nodejs {

        }

    }
}```
• alfy type definitions:
```@JsModule("alfy")
@JsNonModule
external object alfy {
    val input: String
    fun output(items: List&lt;AlfredResult&gt;)
}```
when compiled &amp; trying to run I get the following error:
```[22:50:30.733] ERROR: KAutocomplete the world[Script Filter] Code 1: node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1148
      throw err;
      ^

Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/vlad/coding/knowledge/autocomplete-the-world-kt/build/js/packages/autocomplete-the-world/kotlin/autocomplete-the-world.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

`kotlin-node`

Looks like Kotlin Gradle plugin required to solve `require` problem :slightly_smiling_face:

hmm, it does not seem to depend on any external dependencies, or do you mean that the node internal modules would be esm only?

and which plugin are you referring to?
I have
```plugins {
    kotlin("js") version "1.7.10"
}```
and none of the other plugins in the package seem relevant?

<@U33H6SB2B> would appreciate any further thoughts on this!

We need simple *custom* plugin which will solve this problem for both platforms (Browser and Node)

Current plan - add it in KFC - <https://github.com/turansky/kfc-plugins>

<@UBXHDK7QR> Do you use Node declarations from <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers/tree/master/kotlin-node|Kotlin Wrappers>?
