Cannot import `@rjsf/utils` in node using ESM

[lucasmcht]

Prerequisites

• I have searched the existing issues
• I understand that providing a SSCCE example is tremendously useful to the maintainers.
• I have read the documentation
• Ideally, I'm providing a sample JSFiddle, Codesandbox.io or preferably a shared playground link demonstrating the issue.

What theme are you using?

utils

Version

5.24.8

Current Behavior

With the modification done in the 5.24.5 version, I can't import a function from @rjsf/utils in an ESM based Node environment. This bug is happening in 5.24.5 version and above

I have the following error when destructring to import a specific function :

   SyntaxError: The requested module '@rjsf/utils' does not provide an export named 'createSchemaUtils'

and this one when importing the whole module

(node:6424) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Node.js v20.18.3

Expected Behavior

Launch without crashing. Importing full module in ESM is working using version 5.24.4, but destructuring is not working in this version either

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch an ESM node environnement
2. import a function from @rjsf/utils

Environment

- OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.1
- Node: 20.18.3
- pnpm: 10.3.0

Anything else?

Sorry about the frustration--we've been trying to achieve ESM compatibility. This might be an easy change, or it might end up breaking all kinds of things in our v5 branch. You may be able to try using something like patch-package to add the "type": "module" to @rjsf/utils in your local build system to see if that works.

We are planning to have this fixed before we switch from v5 to v6

@lucasmcht We haven't changed the logic in @rjsf/utils in the versions where this is broken, so you could also temporarily just use v5.24.3 of utils with later versions of other RJSF packages.
