autoesm

Node@13+ supports ES modules natively, but doesn't let importing arbitrary modules − it requires either "type": "module" in package.json or .mjs file extension to indicate that the file is ESM.

_autoesm_ resolves that by detecting ESM based on source, (not extension), allowing to import any ESM files (like existing ESM ecosystem with "module" field in package.json for unpkg/pikacdn).

Slow? Maybe. Runtime flag is a bummer too. In long term all ESM packages will get "type": "module" flag, but for now it saves nerves and time for running tests.

Also - the esm is broken for node@13+, so this is the replacement.

Usage


Providing node@13+ is used:

``sh
node --experimental-loader autoesm ./test.js
``
