ES module for toxic

[gustawdaniel]

I have error

file:///home/daniel/pro/on-chain/custom-events/node_modules/colors-cli/toxic.js:1
const co = require('./lib/color');
           ^

ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead
    at file:///home/daniel/pro/on-chain/custom-events/node_modules/colors-cli/toxic.js:1:12
    at ModuleJob.run (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:194:25)

I am using typescript, tsx and importing by

import 'colors-cli/toxic'

---

I am attaching fragment of tsx docs https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsx

tsx is zero-config because it has smart detections built in. As a runtime, it detects what's imported to make many options in tsconfig.json redundant—which was designed for compiling matching files regardless of whether they're imported.

It seamlessly adapts between CommonJS and ESM package types by detecting how modules are loaded (require() or import) to determine how to compile them. It even adds support for require()ing ESM modules from CommonJS so you don't have to worry about your dependencies as the ecosystem migrates to ESM.

I migrated my project from tsx to rollup with @rollup/plugin-typescript.

in watch mode rollup works but after build running it with node i see

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/home/daniel/pro/on-chain/custom-events/node_modules/colors-cli/toxic' imported from /home/daniel/pro/on-chain/custom-events/dist/app.js
Did you mean to import colors-cli/toxic.js?

I fixed it by

import 'colors-cli/toxic.js'

Finally i decide to left this issue opened because esm modules are more and more popular and potentially other people will see this error and solution, that I hope will be temporary.
