// for deno
import filedirname from 'https://unpkg.com/filedirname/edition-deno/index.ts'
// for web browsers
import filedirname from 'https://unpkg.com/filedirname'
// for node.js
import filedirname from 'filedirname'
// for commonjs
const filedirname = require('filedirname').default

// usage
const [__filename, __dirname] = filedirname()
console.log({ __filename, __dirname })

Via Error

The following works for ESM (ECMAScript Modules) and CJS (CommonJS Modules) environments:

// for deno
import filedirname from 'https://unpkg.com/filedirname/edition-deno/index.ts'
// for web browsers
import filedirname from 'https://unpkg.com/filedirname'
// for node.js
import filedirname from 'filedirname'
// for commonjs
const filedirname = require('filedirname').default

// usage
const [__filename, __dirname] = filedirname(new Error())
console.log({ __filename, __dirname })

// for deno
import filedirname from 'https://unpkg.com/filedirname/edition-deno/index.ts'
// for web browsers
import filedirname from 'https://unpkg.com/filedirname'
// for node.js
import filedirname from 'filedirname'

// usage
const [__filename, __dirname] = filedirname(import.meta.url)
console.log({ __filename, __dirname })
