What you need to know about ES modules in Node.js

• ah-theyre-here-esm-nodejs

  1 33 0.0 JavaScript

  Code accompanying my talk "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, They’re Here! ES Modules in Node.JS"

NodeConf Remote 2020 - Gil Tayar - ES Modules in Node.JS - An excellent introduction to ES modules in Node.js (companion code + link to slides, my notes from this talk).

• TSC

  5 554 7.9 JavaScript

  The Node.js Technical Steering Committee

  

If Node.js 12.x and 14.x releases have full support for ES modules, what gives? I was wondering the same, so I asked Matteo Collina on Twitter (he's a member of the Node.js TSC). Myles Borins (also a member of the TSC) chimed in on the thread to explain the rationale behind ES modules being marked as 'Experimental' in the 12.x and 14.x release lines:

• SurveyJS

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• node

  928 103,799 9.9 JavaScript

  Node.js JavaScript runtime ✨🐢🚀✨

  

ES module support was added to Node.js in v8.5.0 (yes, really!), and released in September 2017. At that stage it was highly experimental and missing a lot of the ES module features which Node.js now supports.

• Sinon.JS

  28 9,556 8.4 JavaScript

  Test spies, stubs and mocks for JavaScript.

  

Sinon does not have support for ES modules, but there is a recently re-opened GitHub issue which offers a workaround.

• testdouble.js (AKA td.js)

  4 1,407 6.5 JavaScript

  A minimal test double library for TDD with JavaScript

  

If you need an alternative for mocking, testdouble.js has full ES module support thanks to some excellent work by Gil Tayar.
