Cannot use import statement outside a module

[is-ege]

I have been trying to get glitched-writer to work on my SvelteKit project. I installed glitch-writer through npm, but when I import it in a component, I get the error:

/website/node_modules/glitched-writer/lib/esm/index.js:11
import Options from './modules/options';
^^^^^^

I tried most everything I saw on stackoverflow when searching for "Cannot use import statement outside a module"

try adding "type": "module" to your package.json, not sure why are you using cjs.
But then the package supports both esm and cjs so the bundle must be at fault.
You could also try to vendor the lib your project and use it directly.

"type": "module" was already in the package.json. I tried installing it on a fresh project and got the same error. I also copied the files and imported the lib locally, no luck.
I haven't had any issues with other libraries I've been using. No clue why I get an error with this one.

I also copied the files and imported the lib locally, no luck.

with or without package.json?

you should probably try without, because it might be that this lib's exports are not configured correctly

I tried importing it directly from the /glitched-writer/src, both with and without package.json.
Now I'm getting this:

Please let me know if you need more information. I'm still getting familiar with npm/node.
