## What is this?
This package is a ponyfill for [`import.meta.resolve`][native-resolve].
It supports everything you need to resolve files just like modern Node does:
import maps, export maps, loading CJS and ESM projects, all of that!
## When to use this?
As of Node.js 20.0, `import.meta.resolve` is still behind an experimental flag.
This package can be used to do what it does in Node 1620.
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install import-meta-resolve
```
## Use
```js
import {resolve} from 'import-meta-resolve'
// A file:
console.log(resolve('./index.js', import.meta.url))
//=> file:///Users/tilde/Projects/oss/import-meta-resolve/index.js
// A CJS package:
console.log(resolve('builtins', import.meta.url))
//=> file:///Users/tilde/Projects/oss/import-meta-resolve/node_modules/builtins/index.js
// A scoped CJS package:
console.log(resolve('@eslint/eslintrc', import.meta.url))
//=> file:///Users/tilde/Projects/oss/import-meta-resolve/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/lib/index.js
// A package with an export map:
console.log(resolve('micromark/lib/parse', import.meta.url))
//=> file:///Users/tilde/Projects/oss/import-meta-resolve/node_modules/micromark/lib/parse.js
// A node builtin:
console.log(resolve('fs', import.meta.url))
//=> node:fs
```
## API
This package exports the identifiers [`moduleResolve`][moduleresolve] and
[`resolve`][resolve].
There is no default export.
### `resolve(specifier, parent)`
Match `import.meta.resolve` except that `parent` is required (you can pass
`import.meta.url`).
###### Parameters
* `specifier` (`string`)
— the module specifier to resolve relative to parent
(`/example.js`, `./example.js`, `../example.js`, `some-package`, `fs`, etc)
* `parent` (`string`, example: `import.meta.url`)
— the absolute parent module URL to resolve from; you must pass
`import.meta.url` or something else
###### Returns
Full `file:`, `data:`, or `node:` URL (`string`) to the found thing
###### Throws
Throws an [`ErrnoException`][errnoexception].
### `moduleResolve(specifier, parent, conditions, preserveSymlinks)`
The [“Resolver Algorithm Specification”][algo] as detailed in the Node docs
(which is slightly lower-level than `resolve`).
###### Parameters
* `specifier` (`string`)
`/example.js`, `./example.js`, `../example.js`, `some-package`, `fs`, etc
* `parent` (`URL`, example: `import.meta.url`)
— full URL (to a file) that `specifier` is resolved relative from
* `conditions` (`Set<string>`, default: `new Set(['node', 'import'])`)
— conditions
* `preserveSymlinks` (`boolean`, default: `false`)
— keep symlinks instead of resolving them
###### Returns
A URL object (`URL`) to the found thing.
###### Throws
Throws an [`ErrnoException`][errnoexception].
### `ErrnoException`
One of many different errors that occur when resolving (TypeScript type).
###### Type
```ts
type ErrnoExceptionFields = Error & {
errnode?: number | undefined
code?: string | undefined
path?: string | undefined
syscall?: string | undefined
url?: string | undefined
}
```
The `code` field on errors is one of the following strings:
* `'ERR_INVALID_MODULE_SPECIFIER'`
— when `specifier` is invalid (example: `'#'`)
* `'ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_CONFIG'`
— when a `package.json` is invalid (example: invalid JSON)
* `'ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_TARGET'`
— when a `package.json` `exports` or `imports` is invalid (example: when it
does not start with `'./'`)
* `'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND'`
— when `specifier` cannot be found in `parent` (example: `'some-missing-package'`)
* `'ERR_NETWORK_IMPORT_DISALLOWED'`
— thrown when trying to resolve a local file or builtin from a remote file
(`node:fs` relative to `'https://example.com'`)
* `'ERR_PACKAGE_IMPORT_NOT_DEFINED'`
— when a local import is not defined in an import map (example: `'#local'`
when not defined)
* `'ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED'`
— when an export is not defined in an export map (example: `'tape/index.js'`,
which is not in its export map)
* `'ERR_UNSUPPORTED_DIR_IMPORT'`
— when attempting to import a directory (example: `'./lib/'`)
* `'ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION'`
— when somehow reading a file that has an unexpected extensions (`'./readme.md'`)
* `'ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE'`
— when `conditions` is incorrect
## Algorithm
The algorithm for `resolve` matches how Node handles `import.meta.resolve`, with
a couple of differences.
The algorithm for `moduleResolve` matches the [Resolver Algorithm
Specification][algo] as detailed in the Node docs (which is sync and slightly
lower-level than `resolve`).
## Differences to Node
* `parent` defaulting to `import.meta.url` cannot be ponyfilled: you have to
explicitly pass it
* no support for loaders (that would mean implementing all of loaders)
* no support for CLI flags:
`--conditions`,
`--experimental-default-type`,
`--experimental-json-modules`,
`--experimental-network-imports`,
`--experimental-policy`,
`--experimental-wasm-modules`,
`--input-type`,
`--no-addons`,
`--preserve-symlinks`, nor
`--preserve-symlinks-main`
work
* no support for `WATCH_REPORT_DEPENDENCIES` env variable
* no attempt is made to add a suggestion based on how things used to work in
CJS before to not-found errors
* prototypal methods are not guarded: Node protects for example `String#slice`
or so from being tampered with, whereas this doesnt
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [`ErrnoException`][errnoexception].
## Compatibility
This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js.
As of now, that is Node.js 16 and later.
