ERR_REQUIRE_ESM: require() of ES Module

I'm encountering the error "ERR_REQUIRE_ESM: require() of ES Module ..." whenever I install a new package or update an @types version. The specific module causing the issue seems to be Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]

even when delete svgdom i get the same error in other package .

C:\Users\PC\Documents\Giftyshop\back_giftyshop\node_modules\ts-node\dist\index.js:851
            return old(m, filename);
                   ^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module C:\Users\PC\Documents\Giftyshop\back_giftyshop\node_modules\svgdom\main-module.js from C:\Users\PC\Documents\Giftyshop\back_giftyshop\src\controllers\dashboard\shop.ts not supported.
Instead change the require of main-module.js in C:\Users\PC\Documents\Giftyshop\back_giftyshop\src\controllers\dashboard\shop.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
