How to add Axios library with appwirte Cloud Function
Hello guys, i just installed a javascript libary to my cloud function project and now i'm getting this error
TL;DR
Developer is trying to add the Axios library to their appwirte Cloud Function. They were initially trying to use `require()` but realized it can only be used in CommonJS and not in ES Modules. The solution is to use `import axios from 'axios';` instead and add `"type": "module"` back to package.json. They are also experiencing an error and the suggested solution is to remove `"type": "module"` from package.json and try again. A link to the discord conversation and the mentioned files are provided for reference. 
can you show me your package.json file
here is the package.json
remove this "type": "module" from your package.json and try again
okay
also can you show the main.js file
now, i'm getting this
here is the main.js
use import axios from 'axios'; for importing axios, and add "type": "module" back to package.json
require() is only available in CommonJS, but import can only be used in ES Modules
so how do i use the import with axios
