Nuxt 2 and Directus SDK, not loading CommonJS module

Hello ! I'm trying to use the Directus SDK with the latest version of Nuxt 2. I am getting this error :
require() of ES Module /node_modules/@directus/sdk/dist/index.js from /node_modules/vue-server-renderer/build.dev.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /node_modules/vue-server-renderer/build.dev.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
require() of ES Module /node_modules/@directus/sdk/dist/index.js from /node_modules/vue-server-renderer/build.dev.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /node_modules/vue-server-renderer/build.dev.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
The Directus SDK has an index.cjs file and I don't understand why vue-server-renderer tries to load the ES module instead of the CommonJS file. I don't have "type": "module" in my package.json. I even tried to set "type": "commonjs", but it still behaves the same. Has anyone had that same kind of issue and would know about a trick to get it to work?

Would you try adding it to build.transpile in your nuxt config?

@danielroe Thanks for the suggestion! This helped me go further. Then I got a similar error with @directus/system-data, which I added to build.transpile as well. Now I'm getting another error. From the look of it, I'd say it's because it tries to do something that doesn't work server-side.

likely original issue is caused by directus sdk exporting something ending in .js but actually being in ES syntax. it should probably be reported to them as a bug

That's right. Their index.js file is an ES module. Then, the package.json file of the Directus SDK has "type": "module", and the CommonJS file is named index.cjs. Is that really incorrect? Shouldn't the "type": "module" be a hint that index.js is an ES module and that the index.cjs file should be looked for to get the CommonJS version?

I think it might be fine... The problem is likely webpack v4. which unfortunately is just ... buggy on this, because it predates all of this.

Okay I see. Thanks again for your help! Regarding the error
o.URL is not a constructor
o.URL is not a constructor
I was able to get rid of it by doing
globalThis.URL = URL;
globalThis.URL = URL;
before calling createDirectus.
