  A Babel 7 plugin transform to convert CommonJS into ES Modules

  For a more end-to-end approach to converting CommonJS to ESM, there are a few transpilation options. There are npm packages cjs2esm and cjstoesm, as well as the Babel plugin babel-plugin-transform-commonjs. However, these tools may not be actively maintained and are not feature complete, so keep that in mind when evaluating them.

  The open-source package registry for modern JavaScript and TypeScript

  

  ESM is the standard JavaScript way to share code and all new JavaScript should support it. Choosing to support CommonJS today can be extremely painful for module authors and developers who don’t want to troubleshoot legacy compatibility issues. JSR - the open source, modern JavaScript registry, explicitly forbids modules using CommonJS. Everyone can do their part in levelling up the JavaScript ecosystem!

  A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

  

  ECMAScript modules (”ESM”) are the official, modern way of writing and sharing JavaScript — it’s supported in many environments (e.g. browsers, the edge, and modern runtimes like Deno, and offers a better development experience (e.g. async loading and being able to export without globals). While CommonJS was the standard for many years, supporting CommonJS today is hurting the JavaScript community.
