Can't import the named export 'Controller' from non EcmaScript module

[dacook]

I've added these lines in app/webpacker/controllers/index.js as per the instructions:

import NestedForm from 'stimulus-rails-nested-form';
...
application.register('nested-form', NestedForm);

But getting this compilation error and don't know how to fix it:

./node_modules/stimulus-rails-nested-form/dist/stimulus-rails-nested-form.mjs 42:2-3
Can't import the named export 'Controller' from non EcmaScript module (only default export is available)

Environment

@hotwired/stimulus@^3.2.2 webpack@^4.46.0 rails (7.0.8) node-version 17.9.1 (Edit: I note that this component uses Node 18)

This guy had this exactly same problem Check if the module is indeed there as per this question It seems to have to import like this: import NestedForm from 'stimulus-rails-nested-form/dist/stimulus-rails-nested-form.umd.js'

Thank you! This solved it for me.

I wish I could contribute the fix, but can't figure out how. I wonder if this affects all other stimulus-components.
