@std/esm

This fast, small, zero-dependency package is all you need to enable ES modules in Node 6+ today!

See the release post :book: and video :movie_camera: for all the details.

Discontinued

This package has been discontinued in favor of esm.

Getting started

Run npm i --save @std/esm in your app or package directory.

There are three ways to enable ESM with @std/esm.

  1. Enable ESM with a CJS bridge:

    index.js

     // Provide options as a parameter, environment variable, or rc file.
 require = require("@std/esm")(module/*, options*/)
 module.exports = require("./main.mjs").default

  2. Enable ESM in the Node CLI with the -r option:

     node -r @std/esm main.mjs

  3. Enable ESM in the Node REPL:

     node -r @std/esm

    or upon entering:

     $ node
 > require("@std/esm")
 @std/esm enabled

Note: All "cjs" options are unlocked in the Node REPL.

Standard Features

The @std/esm loader is as spec-compliant as possible and follows Node’s ESM rules.

:point_right: This means, by default, ESM requires the use of the .mjs file extension.
:unlock: You can unlock ESM with the .js file extension using the "js" ESM mode.

Out of the box @std/esm just works, no configuration necessary, and supports:

Unlockables

Unlock features with options specified as one of the following:

  • The "@std/esm" field in your package.json
  • JSON6 in an .esmrc or .esmrc.json file
  • JSON6 or file path in the ESM_OPTIONS environment variable
  • CJS/ESM in an .esmrc.js or .esmrc.mjs file

Commonly used options may be specified in shorthand form:

  • "@std/esm":"js" is shorthand for "@std/esm":{"mode":"js"}
  • "@std/esm":"cjs" is shorthand for "@std/esm":{"cjs":true,"mode":"js"}
{
"mode":

A string mode:

  • "all" files as ESM
  • "js" and other files with import, import.meta, export, or "use module" as ESM
"cjs":

A boolean or object to unlock CJS features in ESM.

Tips

  • Load @std/esm before @babel/register v7+
  • Load @std/esm with the “require” option of ava, mocha, nyc, and tape
  • Load @std/esm with the --node-arg=-r --node-arg=@std/esm option of node-tap
  • Load @std/esm with the --node-args="-r @std/esm" option of pm2
  • Load @std/esm with wallaby.js
  • Use @std/esm to load jasmine
  • Use "@std/esm":"cjs" for the --watch and --watch-extensions options of mocha
  • Use "@std/esm":"cjs" for ava and webpack
  • When in doubt, use "@std/esm":"cjs"
