is not a function occurs when i try to import node module when using require/ =new

This seems incredibly straight forward but for some reason i can't see what the issue is, im trying to import a node module which i've installed, like below

const Y18n = require('y18n')
const i18n = new Y18n()

However i get the following error:

i18n.__ is not a function

Why does this method of import not seem to work, it works for other node modules? Thanks!

Looks like you did not use y18n correctly, have you checked the README?

const __ = require('y18n')().__;
console.log(__('my awesome string %s', 'foo')); // my awesome string foo

y18n.__(str, arg, arg, arg)

Print a localized string, %s will be replaced with args.

This function can also be used as a tag for a template literal. You can use it like this: __`hello ${'world'}` . This will be equivalent to __('hello %s', 'world').
