Issue with Node.js
i cant seem to find an answer to this anywhere but my bot used to work with “require” (that’s also what it says to use in the discord.js guide) and i made a tiny tweak in the code and now it requires me to update each instance of require to import and gives me a host of errors. what can/should i do to make this problem non-existent when making my next bot?

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
- Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts.

- ✅ Marked as resolved by OPthis isn't really discord.js related, but sounds like that 'tiny tweak' in your code included switching from cjs to esm (presumably by specifying
"type": "module" in your package.json)so uhhh should i just remain consistent with “import from” in the future? sorry im a little new
that's entirely up to you
you may want to consider looking up the difference between cjs and esm and how to switch
one last question - if im just normally making a bot in vscode, following the guide, i should just use import from? (sorry if that sounds dumb)
what’d work
that still depends on you
again, you may want to consider looking up the difference between cjs and esm and how to switch
okay, thanks
