I wasn’t able to use the latest version of node-fetch in a node.js script since it doesn’t support commonjs. The project literally has “node” in the name and doesn’t support default node.js.

Were you not able to convert the script to a module, or dynamically import() node-fetch?

Since you're using it for an async operation anyway, dynamic import should have worked quite well.

I just encountered this. FYI You can use v2 which still retains commonjs support.

I've ended up using last major versions as well. I plan to move to Deno anyhow, and authors like sindresorhus are at least applying security updates to the major version before the switch.
