TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null

Help IPFS
1

Hello, I was trying to use ipfs-core in my Javascript code and when I try running it I get:

TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null

Here is the code I have tried:

At the top of the file

const IPFS = require('ipfs-core');

Then

const ipfs = await IPFS.create();
const { cid } = await ipfs.add('Hello world');
const hashString = cid;

The full error is given as:

$ node index.js
H:\Projects\muelehe\node_modules\timeout-abort-controller\index.js:8
class TimeoutController extends AbortController {
                                ^
