CommonJS imports warnings

CommonJs is a standard from 2009 that established some conventions for JavaScript Modules. It was primarily designed for server side applications not for browser use. With CommonJS you can create modules, export and import them in other modules.
To ensure bundler should optimize your application performance then avoid using CommonJS modules and allow ECMAScript module syntax in your application.
Starting with Angular version 10, you will get warnings when you are using any of these CommonJS bundles. Once you see any warning let know your dependency to prefer ECMAScript module (ESM) bundle.
