Code TS error on node 18

[shlomoweb1]

I want to thank you for this great work; I ran into trouble using this code.

I used ts-node-dev and tried configuring my tsconfig and adding ESM support - output failed.

ts-node-dev --loader ts-node/esm --no-warnings --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229 --project ./tsconfig.json --respawn --rs false --exit-child --watch ./src -- ./src/index.ts

my tsconfig

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    /* Visit https://aka.ms/tsconfig to read more about this file */
    /* Language and Environment */
    "target": "ESNext", /* Set the JavaScript language version for emitted JavaScript and include compatible library declarations. */
    "paths": {
      "@/package/*": [
        "./../*"
      ], /* alias for vscode, see {@link} packages/api/src/aliases.ts for alias ts-node */
      "@/lib/*": [
        "./../../lib/*"
      ], /* alias for vscode, see {@link} packages/api/src/aliases.ts for alias ts-node */
    },
    /* Modules */
    "module": "Node16", /* Specify what module code is generated. */
    "typeRoots": [
      "./node_modules/@types",
      "./@types"
    ], /* Specify multiple folders that act like './node_modules/@types'. */
    "types": [
      "node",
      "express"
    ], /* Specify type package names to be included without being referenced in a source file. */
    "esModuleInterop": true, /* Emit additional JavaScript to ease support for importing CommonJS modules. This enables 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports' for type compatibility. */
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true, /* Ensure that casing is correct in imports. */
    /* Type Checking */
    "strict": true, /* Enable all strict type-checking options. */
    "skipLibCheck": true, /* Skip type checking all .d.ts files. */
    "jsx": "react" /* allow to use other packages tsx|jsx */
  }
}

My environment doesn't like `import.meta'

// const mlvPlugin = tryImportModule('mongoose-lean-virtuals', import.meta);
// const mldPlugin = tryImportModule('mongoose-lean-defaults', import.meta);
// const mlgPlugin = tryImportModule('mongoose-lean-getters', import.meta);

import mlvPlugin from 'mongoose-lean-virtuals';
import mldPlugin from 'mongoose-lean-defaults';
import mlgPlugin from 'mongoose-lean-getters';

Changing the code in to-monggose, and not sure what it does by disabling it
