require() of ES modules is not supported.

When import zip.js in Typescript project.

import { ZipReader, ZipWriter } from '@zip.js/zip.js';

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: \[email protected]\zip.js\index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.

Can we support the commonjs module as well?

Add "type": "module" in your package.json file. zip.js was not designed for Node.js. It just turned out that as time passed, Node.js became more and more compatible with zip.js. That is why it does not offer CommonJS support.

We can use tsimportlib to do async import for commonjs

The version v2.6.29 adds the support of CommonJS modules via index.cjs. You can run for example:

const { ZipReader, ZipWriter } = require("@zip.js/zip.js/index.cjs");
