[v5] node-fetch in ace command

[melokki]

Hello community

I am trying to create a new ace command and I am having some issues with a import. I know that in commands the top imports are not supported, but I still want to import a package into my command.
I am trying to import the node-fetch module
I tried something like this:

const { default: fetch } = await import('node-fetch')

but it does not work

  Error 

 require() of ES Module /node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js from commands/NotifyDocumentExpire.ts not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in commands/NotifyDocumentExpire.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Any suggestions?

Hello,
the latest versions of node-fetch are ESM-only, as specified in the README:
https://github.com/node-fetch/node-fetch#commonjs

So downgrade to node-fetch@2 and it should be fine.
Btw, you can totally have an import for node-fetch on top level. Only IoC dependent imports are not possible on top-level.

Yes, it appears to work with node-fetch@2
Thank you very much :)
