dateformat not working with "require" ?

using import I get this error
```SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module```
while using require this error
```
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /var/www/html/wikisphere-nodejs/node_modules/dateformat/lib/dateformat.js from /var/www/html/wikisphere-nodejs/fetch.js not supported.
Instead change the require of dateformat.js in /var/www/html/wikisphere-nodejs/fetch.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
at Object. (/var/www/html/wikisphere-nodejs/fetch.js:30:18) {
code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
```

any hint ?
