CommonJS requires break build

Description

1. I created a new project using pnpx create-react-native-library@latest.

2. I ran yarn.

3. I ran yarn example web, then this happened:

   Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/.../react-native-origami/example/node_modules/react-native-monorepo-config/index.js from /home/.../react-native-origami/example/metro.config.js not supported.
   Instead change the require of index.js in /home/.../react-native-origami/example/metro.config.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
   Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/.../react-native-origami/example/node_modules/react-native-monorepo-config/index.js from /home/.../react-native-origami/example/metro.config.js not supported.
   Instead change the require of index.js in /home/.../react-native-origami/example/metro.config.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
   at Object. (/home/.../react-native-origami/example/metro.config.js:3:29)

Packages

• create-react-native-library
• react-native-builder-bob

Selected options

During project creation, I chose "JavaScript library" as type:

✔ What type of library do you want to develop? › JavaScript library

I have not changed Bob's settings in package.json:

"react-native-builder-bob": {
  "source": "src",
  "output": "lib",
  "targets": [
    [
      "module",
      {
        "esm": true
      }
    ],
    [
      "typescript",
      {
        "project": "tsconfig.build.json"
      }
    ]
  ]
},
