Native ESM support with ts-node on NodeJS with .mts files
andriichern opened this issue · comments
Could not find any config that would be suitable for ts-node usage that supports esm modules.
Would appreciate any links on how to set up tsconfig-paths together with --loader ts-node/esm option.
If no do you plan to support new .mts and .cjs file extensions?
if you don't care about the paths in particular you could follow the setup in this (not mine) example repo https://github.com/felipeplets/esm-examples
Have a look at the linked stackoverflow answer too. See my (currently) open PR regarding the need for a specific flag for node-ts to work with relative imports too.
@einSelbst actually I tried to care about paths that were specified in paths property of tsconfig but now I can not. And this was the reason for this issue: run TS code with ts-node & tsconfig-paths (on VS Code also) that will then compiled to native esm modules and run on Node, not in browser)))
And the problem is that currently tsconfig-paths expects only .ts files and fails with .mts files (which are extensions for native Node .mjs files)
@andriichern there is also https://www.npmjs.com/package/@swc-node/core which seems to support paths but I haven't used it myself. Don't know anything about VSCode support or handling of mts files tough.
We also need a solution for this. Any idea when it will be available? Thank you!
I'm writing an ESM migration guide and have stumbled upon this problem too. Has anybody found a solution for this?
