'@loopback/rest' dependency is causing error

[rahultoraskarr]

Today we got below error on our loopback applications

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1015
throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, parentPath, packageJsonPath);
^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /app/node_modules/lodash-es/lodash.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /app/node_modules/lodash-es/lodash.js from /app/node_modules/@openapi-contrib/openapi-schema-to-json-schema/dist/cjs/lib/converters/schema.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename lodash.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /app/node_modules/lodash-es/package.json.
