cc. @Andarist Is this an ESM issue?

[EulerTourist]

I am able to get it going for now with:

import fsm from 'xstate';
const lightMachine = fsm.createMachine(config);

//also as service
const lightService = fsm.interpret(lightMachine);

@Andarist Is this an ESM issue?

Yes. We currently don't provide enough information for node (through package.json) for it to be able to load our ESM files. The issue is not so simple as it might look like though, comes with some caveats and at this point in time changing it for v4 would be a breaking change for every ESM consumer in node as they would have to change all import statements for XState. The support for modules in node is also still considered as experimental so I don't really think that we should jump into fixing this straight away (especially that - as mentioned - this only looks trivial, we also don't know yet how bundlers will handle conditional exports which are expected to be handled by them)
