How should this library be imported when using es modules?

[alexbjorlig]

I seem to get the error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<full-path>/node_modules/xmlbuilder2/src/index.ts'

when importing with:

import { create } from 'xmlbuilder2';

Your package.json must include type:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "xmlbuilder2": "2.4.1"
  },
  "type": "module"
}

Follow by a npm i. Then the import should work:

import { create } from "xmlbuilder2";

const str = create({ version: "1.0" }).ele("root").end();
console.log(str);

Here is a minimum sandbox with the above: https://codesandbox.io/s/brave-spence-n1cor?file=/package.json

Your error message seems to indicate that xmlbuilder2 is not installed. Did you npm i?
