How do I use a proxy with Node and ESM?












0















In the olden days I had something like this...



const HttpsProxyAgent = require("https-proxy-agent");
new HttpsProxyAgent(URL)


However when I convert to ESM...



import HttpsProxyAgent from "https-proxy-agent";
// Also tried
// import * as HttpsProxyAgent from "https-proxy-agent";
new HttpsProxyAgent(URL)


I get...




(node:7856) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: HttpsProxyAgent is not
a constructor




So how do I accomplish this now? Is there a native ES6 proxy that node supports?

  • Exporting any sort of function as module.exports in CommonJS became somewhat of a bad habit when ES6 module syntax was introduced to the specification. It's not guaranteed by the specification that import * as ... will actually retain the function and not just its properties. But to indirectly answer your question, console.log(HttpsProxyAgent); after import HttpsProxyAgent from 'https-proxy-agent'; and that output should tell you what you need to know.
