I finally managed to get #NodeJS working with #Typescript without using #CommonJS

This was the only resource that actually worked

As supporting both #CommonJS and #ESModules can be wrongly done in a thousand ways, I published why and how we achieved that on fast-check. #JavaScript #opensource

This article is a follow-up of issues reported via #publint from @bluwy and fixed thank to @AndaristRake. As making the package right was not an easy game at first glance, I thought that a how-we-do article could help other #maintainers.

@GabeMoralesVR I am a complete newbie of Javascript. Modules have created a lot of difficulties as I do not yet understand how they work and the documentation is confusing as some Emscripten exemples refer to #CommonJS whereas browsers prefer #ES6.

In 2009, #CommonJS was exactly what #JavaScript needed. The group took a tough problem and forced through a solution that continues to be used millions of times a day.

But with #ESM as the standard and the focus shifting towards cloud primitives — the edge, browsers, and #serverless compute — and CommonJS simply doesn’t cut it. ESM is a better solution for developers, as they can write browser-compliant code — and for users who get a better end experience.

npm packages: Share of ESM vs. CommonJS?

and that was a great #jsday closing talk @NicoloRibaudo ! thanks for sharing with us all the difficulties and complexities of maintaining and evolving #Babel , migrating from #CommonJS to #ESM

I'm playing with #Eleventy, so I'm also working in a #NodeJS container for the first time in ages, and whoop whoop, integrated #testing with #Tap.

After all the #Jest, #Mocha and #Jasmine crap of my latter working days, I had completely forgotten that writing tests does not actually have to suck.

Eleventy is nice, but after also using #CommonJS for the first time in said ages, that makes me a very 😞 🐼

#nodejs is really a mess, with #commonjs, #esm and #typescript. It's like a dinosaur trying to be pretty.

2/ If a CommonJS module follows this rule, its exports can be name-imported from ESM modules: https://2ality.com/2022/10/commonjs-named-exports.html
#JavaScript #CommonJS #ESM #NodeJS

1/ Happy to see that ESM modules have become popular in current code bases (*):
– Mostly ESM: 68%
– Mostly CommonJS: 17%
– A mix: 12%
– (No answer: 3%)

In my own (relatively simple) ESM-based Node.js projects I was delighted that I usually couldn’t even tell if a dependency was ESM or CommonJS.

Anyone know something about ESM, CommonJS, Typescript and how they interact?

Stuck on a problem, posted on Stack overflow:

#node #typescript #esm #commonjs

Today I was navigating many different build tools and methods on how to publish a single #TypeScript package to #NPM while also keeping compatibility with #ESM and #CommonJS and bundling it with minified versions.

Finally settled on a solution with #Rollup by looking at many examples I had found using #GitHub advanced search and this "Awesome TypeScript" catalogue: https://github.com/dzharii/awesome-typescript

CommonJS → ECMAScript Modules (ESM) in Node.js

I hope this post with my experiences from yesterday’s refactor are helpful for you if and when you undertake a similar task.
