Description

I would like to use cashify, but when try in on a new project, I get the below error.

tsc index.ts && node index.js

file:///home/ss/test/index.js:2
exports.__esModule = true;
^

ReferenceError: exports is not defined in ES module scope
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/home/ss/test/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.
    at file:///home/ss/test/index.js:2:1

Using node -v v16.16.0 and tsc -v Version 4.7.4 and have set to target ES2021, as that seams to be the latest version Node 16.16 supports.

I have followed this howto, and made the changes accordingly.

Question

Can anyone figure out what I am doing wrong?

index.ts

import {convert} from 'cashify';
const rates = {
        GBP: 0.92,
        EUR: 1.00,
        USD: 1.12
};
const result = convert(10, {from: 'EUR', to: 'GBP', base: 'EUR', rates});
console.log(result); //=> 9.2
