TypeError: imagemin is not a function how to fix in gulpfile?

Question

JavaScript

Default gulp command not running.
Here is my gulpfile.js :

const {
    src,
    dest,
    parallel,
    series,
    watch
} = require('gulp');

// Load plugins

const cssnano = require('gulp-cssnano');
const changed = require('gulp-changed');
const browsersync = require('browser-sync').create();
const imagemin = import('gulp-imagemin');
const clean = require('gulp-clean');



function clear() {
    return src('./build/*', {
        read: false
    })
        .pipe(clean());
}

// CSS

function css() {
    const source = './src/css/style.css';
    
    return src(source)
        .pipe(changed(source))
        .pipe(cssnano())
        .pipe(dest('./build/css/'))
        .pipe(browsersync.stream());
}

// Optimize images

function img() {
    return src('./src/images/*')
        .pipe(imagemin())
        .pipe(dest('./build/imeges'));
}

// html

function html() {
    return src('./src/*.html')
        .pipe(dest('./build/'))
        .pipe(browsersync.stream())
}

// Watch files

function watchFiles() {
    watch('./src/css/*', css);
    watch('./src/*.html', html);
    watch('./src/images/*', img);
}

// BrowserSync

function browserSync() {
    browsersync.init({
        server: {
            baseDir: './build'
        },
        port: 3000
    });
}

exports.watch = parallel(watchFiles, browserSync);
exports.default = series(clear, parallel(html, css, img));

And here is the output in the error (in the terminal):

[09:36:44] Using gulpfile ~\Desktop\app\gulpfile.js

By the way, if you are wondering why at the beginning all the require functions, and imagemin - import, then there was an error earlier

'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'

More additional info:

"browser-sync": "^2.27.5",
"gulp": "^4.0.2",
"gulp-changed": "^4.0.3",
"gulp-clean": "^0.4.0",
"gulp-cssnano": "^2.1.3",
"gulp-imagemin": "^8.0.0"

Answer 1

change import to require
UPD
AND downgrade gulp-imagemin to 7.1.0
