Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module C:\GitHub\auth\hello-world\node_modules\@octokit\auth-app\dist-node\index.js from C:\GitHub\auth\hello-world\dist\app.service.js not supported.

This is not a bug. We switched to ESM

[gr2m]

You can use the last version supporting CJS which currently is 6.1.1. We can still accept bug fixes and will apply security fixes to 6.x, but we do recommend to upgrade to ESM, as we won't add more features to 6.x

so apperantly the ESM community does not want to deal with commonjs and Nest community don't want to deal with ESM, they both argue a lot on github community but i came with solution:

tsconfig:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "Node16", << --- Using await import() with moduleResolution set to nodenext or node16
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "target": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "node16", <--- Using await import() with moduleResolution set to nodenext or node16
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "incremental": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true
  },
  "include": ["src/**/*.ts"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  async getHello(): Promise<string> {
    const { createAppAuth } = await import('@octokit/auth-app');
    const { Octokit } = await import('@octokit/rest');```
