Ah this is frustrating, if the latest is v2, then it made sense to be at least in v2 as well...

I just used express-fileupload instead.

Thanks, but it's suddenly working for me on v2 as well.

Dammit. I'm not gonna change my entire import system. I guess I'll have to look for another module.

There is dynamic import so you can import inside your function like this

async function uploadfile() {
  const formidable = await import("formidable");
}
