node.js require returns a string

Question

I created an Electron project with Vite.

And I imported Electron from the file to be used in the Worker.

No Electron object was returned, only the Electron installation path.

How do I get an Electron object?

I saw the question below, but I didn't understand it.

node.js require returns a string instead of module object

• file structure

  

• file contents

  import test from 'electron'
  console.log(typeof test)

  console.log(test)
