[nhhockeyplayer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

I cannot load a simple pojo model due to ES Module restraints

nx serve api-typegoose

> nx run api-typegoose:serve

I tried editing the tsconfig's for my api to es2020 without luck

its in a nrwl/nx monorepo

any help is appreciated

I got my angular client side (well everything is housed in a monorepo apps and servers) to build fine using

"type": "module"

in the package.json

[jmcdo29]

If you'd take a moment to look at our pull requests, you'd see there is a PR to support ESM builds. I've been trying to find what the benefit of ESM on the Node + Typescript side of things is, and it's seems that it's really just because ESM is the new standard (which I agree we should try to follow) and because using CJS with ESM is a pain. We'll try to get to this as soon as we can, but I will make no guarantee on how fast that will be.

I tried navigating to your repo and got a GitHub 404, so not sure what's going on there.

[micalevisk]

I'm not familiar with Webpack but the problem here is that @nestjs/core module is being interpreted as an ESM module for whatever reason.
