Does anyone know why I am getting this error?

import {PrismaClient} from "@prisma/client"
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I can run this code just fine with 

ts-node

 but as soon as I want to complie my code with 

tsc

 I get this error

@Jack Baude This error has nothing to do with Prisma. You need to add this line

"type": "module"

to your package.json file. Also trying using:

const { PrismaClient } = require("@prisma/client")

.
