I can't run node src/index.js it throws errors. But nodemon is ok. How do i run a production version of it?

PS D:\Development\server\Image hosting\node-express-server-rest-api-master> node   src/index.js
D:\Development\server\Image hosting\node-express-server-rest-api-master\src\index.js:2
import cors from 'cors';

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

It's a Very simple project and the files: I tried the "type": "module", But it throws new error. Nothing works dispite this is just a example project

"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "Node imgs hosting",
"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon --exec babel-node src/index.js",
    "test": "echo \"No test specified\" && exit 0",
    "production": "NODE_ENV=production node src/index.js",
    "win-prod": "set NODE_ENV=production && node   src/index.js"
},

  }
 }

index.js

require('dotenv/config');
import cors from 'cors';
import express from 'express';


import routes from './routes';
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");

const app = express();


app.use(cors());

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());


app.use((req, res, next) => {
// req.context = {
//     models,
//     me: models.users[1],
// };
next();
});


app.use('/upload', routes.upload);


app.listen(process.env.PORT, () =>
 console.log(`Example app listening on port ${process.env.PORT}!`),
);

I'll Post the answer here.

Add this module: npm i esm

Add one more file under the root folder I'll name it as main.js:

require = require("esm")(module /*, options*/ )
module.exports = require("./src/index.js")

Change the package.json start script From this:

 "win-prod": "set NODE_ENV=production && node -r src/index.js"

into this:

 "win-prod": "set NODE_ENV=production && node -r esm main.js"
