Failed to load metaplex

[georgewslee]

I have a file named testMetaplex.cjs with just one line of code:
const Metaplex = require("@metaplex-foundation/js");
Running on Node.js v20.15.0.

my npm list:
├── @metaplex-foundation/[email protected]
├── @raydium-io/[email protected]
├── @solana/[email protected]
├── @solana/[email protected]
└── @solana/[email protected]

and I get the following error:
...\node_modules@metaplex-foundation\mpl-candy-guard\dist\src\generated\instructions\mint.js:27
const splToken = __importStar(require("@solana/spl-token"));

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module ...\node_modules@solana\spl-token\lib\cjs\index.js from ...\node_modules@metaplex-foundation\mpl-candy-guard\dist\src\generated\instructions\mint.js not supported.
index.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.
Instead either rename index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules, or change "type": "module" to "type": "commonjs" in ...\node_modules@solana\spl-token\package.json to treat all .js files as CommonJS (using .mjs for all ES modules instead).

at Object.<anonymous> (...\node_modules\@metaplex-foundation\mpl-candy-guard\dist\src\generated\instructions\mint.js:27:31) {

code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

Is it possible to use metaplex via cjs?

Same issue on Mac M3.

node 18.9.1, pnpm 8.8.0

Forcing @solana/spl-token to version 0.4.6 solved my issue. on pnpm-lock.yaml it set that package to 0.4.7 when I did a fresh install and it broke.

same issue with 0.4.7

Is it possible to use metaplex via cjs?

I ended up using @metaplex-foundation/umi-bundle-defaults and @metaplex-foundation/mpl-token-metadata instead.
My intention was just to get token metadata, given a token address.
