Description

Issue Description

The project contains CommonJS modules that need to be migrated to ES6 module syntax.

Expected Behavior

All CommonJS modules across the codebase should be converted to ES6 module syntax to adhere to modern JavaScript standards and improve compatibility with current tools and environments.

Current Behavior

The codebase relies on CommonJS module syntax (require and module.exports), which may limit compatibility with tools and frameworks that expect ES6 modules.
