Fixes an issue where bundlers (esbuild) fail to build because of es module interop issues.
Import in the middle does not have a
default
export, which meansimport IITM from 'import-in-the-middle';
fails. Importing as a namespace withimport * as IITM from 'import-in-the-middle';
works, but causes issues with bundlers. Specifically, namespace imports are required by the ESM spec to be objects. IITM's top-level export is not an object, but a callable function (https://github.com/DataDog/import-in-the-middle/blob/c3c2c52c1915b47994af59d507c59029c1f1fae9/index.js#L91).This draft is to consider the possibility of using
require
instead ofimport
for this dependency.Related to #4519
