> [!TIP]

> This is a low-level package. You probably want [rejoinder][1] instead.
@-xun/debug, as a wrapper around the debug package, also shares all of itsdebug
features; see ['s documentation][2] for details.
TODO: document the new features enabled by @-xun/debug that debug lacks (fordocs/
now, see [][x-repo-docs]).
Further documentation can be found under [docs/][x-repo-docs].
This is a [CJS2 package][x-pkg-cjs-mojito] with statically-analyzable exports
built by Babel for use in Node.js versions that are not end-of-life. For
TypeScript users, this package supports both "Node10" and "Node16" module
resolution strategies.
Expand details
That means both CJS2 (via require(...)) and ESM (via import { ... } from ...await import(...)
or ) source will load this package from the same entry points
when using Node. This has several benefits, the foremost being: less code
shipped/smaller package size, avoiding [dual package
hazard][x-pkg-dual-package-hazard] entirely, distributables are not
packed/bundled/uglified, a drastically less complex build process, and CJS
consumers aren't shafted.
Each entry point (i.e. ENTRY) in [package.json'sexports[ENTRY]][x-repo-package-json] object includes one or more [exportexports[ENTRY].types
conditions][x-pkg-exports-conditions]. These entries may or may not include: an
[][x-pkg-exports-types-key] condition pointing to a typeexports[ENTRY].module
declaration file for TypeScript and IDEs, a
[][x-pkg-exports-module-key] condition pointing toexports[ENTRY].node
(usually ESM) source for Webpack/Rollup, a and/orexports[ENTRY].default condition pointing to (usually CJS2) source for Node.jsrequire/import and for browsers and other environments, and [other
conditions][x-pkg-exports-conditions] not enumerated here. Check the
[package.json][x-repo-package-json] file to see which export conditions are
supported.
Note that, regardless of the [{ "type": "..." }][x-pkg-type] specified inpackage.json
[][x-repo-package-json], any JavaScript files written in ESM.mjs
syntax (including distributables) will always have the extension. Notepackage.json
also that [][x-repo-package-json] may include thesideEffects
[][x-pkg-side-effects-key] key, which is almost always false` for
optimal [tree shaking][x-pkg-tree-shaking] where appropriate.
