tsc-esm-fix

Make tsc-compiled es2020/esnext bundles compatible with esm/mjs requirements

Motivation

This workaround is aimed to bypass a pair of tsc and ts-jest issues right here and right now.

TS/13422 / TS/16577: tsc should add .js extensions for relative module paths.
ts-jest/1174: import.meta is not allowed.

Hope one day this library will not be needed.

Features

Finds and replaces __dirname and __filename refs with import.meta.
Injects extensions to imports/re-exports statements.
- import {foo} from './foo' → import {foo} from './foo.js'
- import {baz} from 'external/baz' → import {baz} from 'external/baz.js'
- Pays attention to index files: import {bar} from './bar' → import {bar} from './bar/index.js'
Follows outDir found in tsconfig.json.
Changes file extensions if specified by opts.
Supports Windows-based runtimes.

Requirements

Node.js >= 14
