Actual behavior

Error thrown

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: C:\Users\${user}\Documents\project\node_modules\remark-gfm\index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of C:\Users\user\Documents\proj\node_modules\remark-gfm\index.js from C:\Users\user\Documents\proj\api\_build\index.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename C:\Users\user\Documents\project\node_modules\remark-gfm\index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from C:\Users\user\Documents\proj\node_modules\remark-gfm\package.json.

Hey @ShafSpecs 👋
Sorry you ran into a spot of trouble.
This is an issue in remix and has been reported there several times remix-run/remix#109, remix-run/remix#1283, remix-run/remix#1279
