Describe the Bug

Hello! I'm trying to integrate into my project on nest js, but it does not support esm, how can I fix this?

[otakustay]

NestJS doesn't require a library to be ESM, I'm running it on NestJS 9.x, what errors did you get?

[elfillo]

I have the same problem with nestJs integration. Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module [node_modules/chatgpt/build/index.js] from [file path] not supported.

"@nestjs/core": "^8.0.0 "chatgpt": "^4.1.3" NodeJs v18.14.0

[otakustay]

This is my tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "NodeNext",
        "target": "ES2022",
        "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
        "declaration": true,
        "removeComments": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "strict": true,
        "strictPropertyInitialization": false,
        "keyofStringsOnly": true,
        "sourceMap": false,
        "outDir": "./dist",
        "incremental": true,
        "skipLibCheck": true,
        "allowJs": false
    },
    "include": ["src"]
}

Also I have "type": "module" in package.json, maybe this is the fix, I'm working in a pure ESM environment

[elfillo]

Unfortunately that configuration break whole project;

I have this problem with Remix right now

Try to use this solution:

export const importDynamic = new Function( 'modulePath', 'return import(modulePath)', );

and using it into your function:

const { ChatGPTAPI } = await importDynamic("chatgpt"); 
   this.gptApi = new ChatGPTAPI({ 
      apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY as string,
});

compilerOptions: { .... moduleResolution: Node16 } add this to your tsconfig.json and enjoy

There are also previous issues on here of Nestjs users posting their workarounds.

Sorry, but commonjs is deprecated and it's a huge pain for maintainers like myself to try and support both ESM and commonjs.

odd choice that openai would make this their "official npm" when it isn't compatible out of the box with 99% of all existing codebases.

ESM only modules are a PITA.

Update: nvm about the official part, i misread the readme (it kinda is written in a way that it makes it sound like this is there official package)
