Description

Hi, I am migrating a project from CommonJS to pure ESM. Is it possible to load a custom appender at this time using pure ESM?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how log4js node handles custom appender loading and whether ESM dynamic imports or module resolution adjustments are needed. Check the configuration loading code for compatibility with ES modules.
