Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module

[shauntrennery]

Getting an error when upgrading to v5

const { fetch } = require('got-fetch');

Hey, that's expected unfortunately (I should've updated the readme). got v12 is a pure ESM package now and can only be imported by other ESM packages.

I had to migrate got-fetch v5 to be an ESM module because of this and any packages depending on got-fetch v5 will have to do the same thing. The got developers came up with a FAQ in this gist about pure ESM packages. Have a look there, maybe something will work for your project? Regardless, I will keep maintaining got-fetch v4 for as long as its needed.

I will update the README here to talk about ESM vs CJS and I will create a maintenance branch for got-fetch v4.
