node-fetch@3 Not support in nestjs because it is ESM

Question

I can't use the package "node-fetch@3". I just import it and my console will log the error:

const node_fetch_1 = require("node-fetch");
                     ^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/control-panel-nest2/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js from /home/control-panel-nest2/dist/bimwize/document.service.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /home/control-panel-nest2/dist/bimwize/document.service.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

I know what happend. node-fetch@3 only support esm but not commonjs and nestjs will compile all my import to require.

I don't know how to fix this problem. I have try to use node-fetch@2, but node-fetch@2 missing some of the feature I wanted.

• npm install node-fetch@2

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const response = await fetch('https://api.github.com/users/github'); const data = await response.json();

console.log(data);
