Import/Require correct way to do it

If winston-cloudwatch is a library, why the README says in Usage WinstonCloudWatch = require('../index');

[lazywithclass]

Because I did not spot the issue, that particular line in the README is 3 years old and has been taken from the examples.

Thanks, corrected!

So I'm using 1.13.1, because I prefer Winston 2.x. However, I can't import or require at all!

import WinstonCloudWatch from 'winston-cloudwatch';
console.log(WinstonCloudWatch);

prints {}.

import * as WinstonCloudWatch from 'winston-cloudwatch';
console.log(WinstonCloudWatch);

prints { default: {}, [Symbol(__esModule)]: true }.

Similarly with const WinstonCloudWatch = require('winston-cloudwatch');.

Seems like nothing is exported... Any ideas?

Are you importing first winston?

Yes! I'm using Meteor, but that should not make any difference.

Hello @angelmartinez-wz, which Node.js version are you using?

I think that your issue is related to the fact that you're importing winston-cloudwatch. It's been quite a while since I wrote a Node.js program, but I don't think I've written this library with ES6 modules in mind, I'm simply using module.exports. If you try to require it the old way it should work.

Sorry if this sounds strange, but I've been disconnected from the Node.js scene for quite a while now :D

@lazywithclass I assume you mean me :) thanks for your response, but as mentioned in my comment, I also tried requireing it with the same result

[lazywithclass]

Yes I meant you ^^"

I did not notice you mentioned require too, sorry. Could you please paste here the minimum example that does not work when you use require, along with Node.js version, etc?

Thanks!
