Code snipet on the readme seems wrong about orbitdb HOT 6 CLOSED

if anyone gets this error

import IPFS from 'ipfs-core'
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

add "type":"module" to package.json and if you get another error like this:
SyntaxError: The requested module 'ipfs-core' does not provide an export named 'default'

Use:
import * as IPFS from 'ipfs-core'

I believe that this block:

// Listen for updates from peers
  db.events.on("update", entry => {
    console.log(entry)
    const all = await db.all()
    console.log(all)
  })

should be something like the following. Note the added async:

// Listen for updates from peers
  db.events.on("update", async (entry) => {
    console.log(entry)
    const all = await db.all()
    console.log(all)
  })

don't think we are getting the same error, but I agree the code there seems wrong or need more details about how to set it up
