Why does this problem occur?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv

To get access to require from ES Modules you can use this code:

import { createRequire } from 'module';
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);

@Konard Someway it works this way:

import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();

Possibly because I have "esModuleInterop": true, in my tsconfig?
