How do I convert an ES6 import to a require?

Question

I have some js code that wants to be imported using ES6 import syntax

import crazymodule from 'crazymodule';

How do I convert this to nodejs require syntax?

I've tried:

const crazymodule = require('crazymodule')

I'd been googling for the answer for this for a while and didn't hit a good answer so I made this one to help future peeps using the same search terms as me.

That answer is you need to have .default on the end of the require line:

const crazymodule = require('crazymodule').default
