I updated a NestJS based project from 2021 that contains an import like this:
import crypto from 'crypto';
Nowadays, with Node 18, crypto is undefined.
What happened to this lib, and is there a replacement available? According to NodeJS documentation, this actually should not happen to be removed.
>Solution :
You might try importing via node:crypto. The node: namespace is something new with ESM. If this isn’t an ESM project and just NestJS + Typescript, then you can try import * as crypto from 'crypto' or try setting syntheticDefaultImports: true in the tsconfig. Note, that setting is already set to true if esModuleInterop is set to true
