@riccardoNovaglia your node version has incomplete support for the package.exports feature. It’s also not actively supported by Node.js anymore, see https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/

Please upgrade to Node.js v14 if you want to use ESM or downgrade to v12 if you want to use CommonJS.

@ctavan absolutely right. Can confirm it works with both v12 and v14. Thanks for the help!

Hey folks, I think this still might be an issue, getting exactly the same problem, importing uuid directly.

Made a repo here to show the problem.

Versions:

➜  tmp git:(master) node --version
v13.2.0
➜  tmp git:(master) npm --version
6.14.7

Hope it helps
