Lack of CommonJS support

[KyrneDev]

Hello,

Currently, this package doesn't support CommonJS modules, the build files are esModule only. This is causing a pretty big headache for my project that relies on a heavy set of jest tests.

I'm having to use the experiment VM modules option for node, which in turn is causing seg faults on our CI.

Would be great to have proper CommonJS support if possible.

sorry for the late reply, is it still actual?

Hey @vmidyllic, yes, this issue is still occurring. There is no commonJS support on the latest version.

@KyrneDev v1.0.0-beta.7 contains explicit CommonJS build support. (added in #56 )

But the issue with tests - is not about CommonJS build of js-iden3-auth lib.
There is a dependency digitalbazzar/jsonld.js that utilizes its own http client which supports only ESM build.
They have an issue here.
digitalbazaar/jsonld.js#516
in which they describe the way of avoiding such issue.
As soon as they have a fix we will integrate it.

For now, you stick to the approach they recommend or the one which we use in our tests (without experimental feature support):

1. add mocked folder
   https://github.com/iden3/js-iden3-auth/tree/develop/__mocks__/%40digitalbazaar/http-client/dist/cjs
2. change jest config.

Also, when we wrote tests using the mocha framework we didn’t face a such error.
