Support for CommonJS

[Rmannn]

Hi,

We are currently using GoodData Cloud, and we've encountered an issue with the @gooddata/sdk-backend-tiger package, which is only available as an ESM export.

Unfortunately, we cannot use it in our backend codebase since we are working with TypeScript and CommonJS. Handling dynamic imports has proven to be very difficult, and migrating to ESM is not an option for us at this time.

Our current setup involves a custom generator and OpenAPI definition to generate the REST API SDK, but we'd like to leverage parts of the Tiger backend, specifically the AFM execution convertors, to enable custom AFM execution.

Do you have any plans to support CommonJS? It remains a widely used default module system for Node.js.
Thank you.

Hi, the esm-only approach was done in #3802. There are currently no plans to support CommonJS.

Hi, thank you for your answer, however thinking esm only is a really bad approach for a versatile library. We are paid customers and this is disappointing.
