- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking

sorry, really tired, and i'm not very good at explaining anyway - so i'm getting this error.

SyntaxError: Named export 'Flags' not found. The requested module 'discord.js' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:

import pkg from 'discord.js';
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, EmbedBuilder, Collection, PermissionsBitField, Flags } = pkg;

However, I was wondering if there's any other way of just import all discord.js as import DJS from 'discord.js' (as a default export). As I'd really like to make use of ES modules.

your error comes from Flags not existing what you name the default export is entirely up to you you're also free to import specific exports using import { ... } from "discord.js" syntax
