Named export not found. The request module is a CommonJS module

[maverick891]

I installed capacitor with sveltekit and was able to build my android app successfully. However, the build step (npm run build) fails when I try to use "send-intent"

I put the following code in my sveltekit application as instructed:

<script lang="ts">
  import "../app.postcss";
  import Navbar from "./navbar.svelte";

  import {SendIntent} from "send-intent";
  import { Filesystem } from '@capacitor/filesystem';

  SendIntent.checkSendIntentReceived().then((result: any) => {
      if (result) {
          console.log('SendIntent received');
          console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
      }
      if (result.url) {
          let resultUrl = decodeURIComponent(result.url);
          Filesystem.readFile({path: resultUrl})
          .then((content) => {
              console.log(content.data);
          })
          .catch((err) => console.error(err));
      }
  }).catch(err => console.error(err));
</script>

when I run

npm run build

I get the follwwing error:

file:///E:/Startup/Svelte/TSSKFE/.svelte-kit/output/server/entries/pages/_layout.svelte.js:6
import { SendIntent } from "send-intent";
         ^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Named export 'SendIntent' not found. The requested module 'send-intent' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:

import pkg from 'send-intent';
const { SendIntent } = pkg;

If I try the suggestion mentioned in the error above, the error changes to:

I tried googling and trying every solution offered on stackoverflow and on other websites but nothing worked for me. I am aware this might not be an issue bug with module but my mistake. Please help.
