[ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module

Question

I have a working api with Node.js and PostgreSQL. When I convert the code to ES6 I get the following error when I running node index.js from terminal.

node:internal/process/esm_loader:74
internalBinding('errors').triggerUncaughtException(
                          ^
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module 'C:\node\api\queries' imported from C:\node\api\index.jss
Did you mean to import ../queries.js?

at link (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:50:36) {
  code: 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND'
}

I have three files that have had lines changed:

index.js

const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const db = require('./queries').default

converted to:

import express from 'express'
import { json, urlencoded } from 'body-parser'
import db from './queries'

queries.js

const Pool = require('pg').Pool

conerted to:

import { Pool } from 'pg'

package.json - I have added:

"type": "module",

What else do I need to do to fix this error?
