Try with using typescript instead. Rename all your .js files into .ts . And use ts-node./index.ts instead.

But before that do not forget to install instances: npm install -g typescript ts-node or if you are using yarn: yarn add -DE typescript or just yarn add -D typescript then use npx tsc -init or simply tsc -init
