I've been struggling to get it working. this is what I have so far

server.ts
  function startWorker() {
    const worker = new Worker('../src/workers/worker.ts')

    worker.on('message', message => {
      console.log(`Message from worker: ${message.status} ${message.details}`)
    })
    worker.on('error', err => {
      console.error(`Worker exited with error: ${err}`)
    })

    worker.on('exit', code => {
      console.log(`Worker stopped with exit code ${code}`)
    })

    worker.postMessage('start')
  }
//triggered after payload is initialised
  startWorker() 

worker.ts

const payload = require('payload')
const initialisePyaload = async () => {
  try {
    await payload.init({
      secret: PAYLOAD_SECRET,
      mongoUrl: DATABASE_URI,
      local: true,
      express: null,
    })
  } catch (e) {
    throw new Error(e)
  }
}
initialisePyaload()



parentPort.postMessage({
  status: 'Task Ended -',
  details: `threadId is ${threadId}`,
})
parentPort.on('message', msg => {
  console.log('Message received from main thread', msg)
})

I keep getting this error when I have payload present

Worker exited with error: Error: SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
Worker stopped with exit code 1
