file:///usr/local/server/src/function/src/main.js:1 import { Client, ID ,Users} from 'node-appwrite'; ^^ SyntaxError: The requested module 'node-appwrite' is expected to be of type CommonJS, which does not support named exports. CommonJS modules can be imported by importing the default export. For example: import pkg from 'node-appwrite'; const { Client, ID ,Users} = pkg; at ModuleJob._instantiate (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:98:21) at async ModuleJob.run (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:137:5) at async Loader.import (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:162:24) at async execute (/usr/local/server/src/server.js:126:32) at async /usr/local/server/src/server.js:158:13

TL;DR
The user is getting a SyntaxError while trying to import modules from 'node-appwrite'. The error message suggests that the requested module is expected to be of type CommonJS, which does not support named exports. To fix this, the user should import the default export from 'node-appwrite' and then destructure the necessary variables. Example: import pkg from 'node-appwrite'; const { Client, ID, Users } = pkg;

FYI, it's best to wrap code in backticks to format a bit nicer. You can use 1 backtick for inline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#code) and 3 backticks for multiline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting.
