Importing the @zitadel/client into my CommonJS project doesn't work

I get the following error:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/<me>/Developer/<project>/node_modules/@zitadel/proto/cjs/zitadel/admin_pb.js from /Users/<me>/Developer/<project>/node_modules/@zitadel/client/dist/v1.cjs not supported.
admin_pb.js is treated as an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which declares all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead either rename admin_pb.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules, or change "type": "module" to "type": "commonjs" in /Users/<me>/Developer/<project>/node_modules/@zitadel/proto/package.json to treat all .js files as CommonJS (using .mjs for all ES modules instead).


I saw some other conversation about this, but it's not super clear to me what the conclusion was - it seems like some code was merged into the package.

@zitadel/* are both version 1.3.1

I'll drop my tsconfig in here for reference:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "target": "es2021",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "incremental": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true
  }
}


Thanks in advance for any help
