VS code warning when requiring Express

When I require Express in a file, like so:

const express = require('express');

VS Code throws the following warning:

File is a CommonJS module.; it may be converted to an ES module. (ts80001)

Why is this so? And is it a problem? The apps still work though.

Thanks
