I've used in past this npm repo, it's a simple wrapper around guerrilla mail API. I've added it in past to my projects by using the ´require()´ function without any problem. At the moment I want to use the same library inside a node CLI script that I'm creating but I always get this error:

/Users/b/Sites/Te/node_modules/guerrillamail-api/src/index.js:1 import axios from 'axios'; ^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module at compileFunction (<anonymous>) at Object.compileFunction (node:vm:353:18) at wrapSafe (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1039:15) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1073:27) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1138:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:989:32) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:829:14) at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1013:19) at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:93:18) at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/b/Sites/Te/followBot.js:9:23) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1109:14) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1138:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:989:32) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:829:14) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:76:12) at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47

I's very strange, is there any solution to fix it?

Try adding "type": "module" to your package.json file.

I've ended up with a temporary solution. I've converted the original library syntax to use require() instead of import and replaced the export default with module.exports. Now seems working fine, thank you for the help.
