How to use moduleTypes with a node_modules outside of the tsconfig's package

[DrJKL]

I'm trying to get a project working with a mix of CommonJS (that I can't migrate to ESM) and ESM dependencies, in this case d3-format.

I've gotten the require to point to the dist folder using

"paths": {
  "d3-format": ["../node_modules/d3-format/dist/d3-format.min.js"]
}

I do have "require": ["tsconfig-paths/register"],

But this gives me d3-format.min.js is treated as an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which declares all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.

I've tried a few different "moduleTypes" but none of them seem to apply to the require()

"moduleTypes": {
  "../node_modules/**/*": "cjs",
  "**/*": "cjs",
  "*": "cjs",
  // ...
},

Any help would be appreciated. We're also using "swc": true if that matters.
