Working with CommonJS modules is pretty straight forward.
You can only do default
exports from CommonJS modules.
import packageMain from 'commonjs-package'; // Works
import { method } from 'commonjs-package'; // Errors
This means that all commonjs exports will live on the packageMain
object, and you need to dot in to the packageMain object to pickup what you need.
packageMain.method1()
