  1. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. Hands-on Native ESM Understanding Node.js module

    discrepancy Nov. 26 2022 - Masaki Hara https://github.com/qnighy https://www.wantedly.com/id/qnighy
  2. The aim of this workshop • Understand how CJS and

    ESM (does not smoothly) interoperate in Node.js • Understand how it becomes more difficult when module budler is involved © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. It does not cover the entire solution, but it will nonetheless help you migrating to Native ESM.
  3. Related materials • 実践 Node.js Native ESM — Wantedlyでのアプリケー ション移行事例[1]

    • Node.jsのネイティブES Modulesサポートが抱える問題を 解決するBabelプラグインを書いた[2] • Native ESM + TypeScript 拡張子問題: 歯にものが挟まっ たようなスッキリしない書き流し[3] © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

  6. Hands-on guide • Materials can be found at: https://github.com/wantedly/hands-on-native- esm-2022

    • Requires Node.js ≧ 16 • I will demonstrate chapters 1 to 4. • Read and exercise the remaining chapters (5 to 11) if you are interested. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.
  7. Try Native ESM • Node.js has two module types: ◦

    ESM = ES Modules (*.mjs, *.js) ◦ CJS = CommonJS Modules (*.cjs, *.js) • They interoperate badly 😵 • You usually write JS in ESM but execute it as CJS. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. (as opposed to Native ESM)
  8. Try Native ESM Try ESM import/export © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    export default function(x) { return x * x; } import square from "./lib.mjs"; console.log(square(2)); lib.mjs app.mjs
  9. Try Native ESM Try ESM import/export © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    export default function(x) { return x * x; } import square from "./lib.mjs"; console.log(square(2)); lib.mjs app.mjs $ node app.mjs 4
  10. Try Native ESM Try CJS transpilation © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    "use strict"; Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true }); exports.default = _default; function _default(x) { return x * x; } "use strict"; var _a = _interopRequireDefault(require("./a.cjs")); function _interopRequireDefault(obj) { return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; } console.log((0, _a.default)(2)); lib.cjs (before Babel) app.cjs (before Babel) export default function(x) { return x * x; } import square from "./lib.cjs"; console.log(square(2));
  11. Try Native ESM Try CJS transpilation © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    "use strict"; Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true }); exports.default = _default; function _default(x) { return x * x; } "use strict"; var _a = _interopRequireDefault(require("./lib.cjs")); function _interopRequireDefault(obj) { return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; } console.log((0, _a.default)(2)); lib.cjs app.cjs
  12. Try Native ESM Try CJS transpilation © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    "use strict"; Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true }); exports.default = _default; function _default(x) { return x * x; } "use strict"; var _a = _interopRequireDefault(require("./lib.cjs")); function _interopRequireDefault(obj) { return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; } console.log((0, _a.default)(2)); lib.cjs app.cjs $ node app.cjs 4
  13. Try Native ESM CJS → ESM © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    "use strict"; var _a = _interopRequireDefault(require("./lib.mjs")); function _interopRequireDefault(obj) { return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; } console.log((0, _a.default)(2)); app.cjs export default function(x) { return x * x; } lib.mjs
  14. Try Native ESM CJS → ESM © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    "use strict"; var _a = _interopRequireDefault(require("./lib.mjs")); function _interopRequireDefault(obj) { return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj : { default: obj }; } console.log((0, _a.default)(2)); app.cjs export default function(x) { return x * x; } lib.mjs $ node app.cjs node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1031 throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, true); ^ Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module lib.mjs not supported. Instead change the require of lib.mjs to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
  15. Try Native ESM ESM → CJS © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    "use strict"; Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true }); exports.default = _default; function _default(x) { return x * x; } lib.cjs import square from "./lib.cjs"; console.log(square(2)); app.mjs
  16. Try Native ESM ESM → CJS © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    "use strict"; Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true }); exports.default = _default; function _default(x) { return x * x; } lib.cjs import square from "./lib.cjs"; console.log(square(2)); app.mjs $ node app.mjs app.mjs:3 console.log(square(2)); ^ TypeError: square is not a function at app.mjs:3:13
  17. There is no easy path • Library-first upgrade: essential difficulty

    ◦ Synchronous vs. Asynchronous • Application-first upgrade: avoidable pitfalls ◦ Default import problem • Dual package: difficulty in some packages ◦ State sharing problem © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.
  18. But we must do it • Some libraries are already

    in Native ESM format. ◦ node-fetch ◦ d3 ◦ etc. • Depending applications are (almost) forced to do the migration. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.
  19. How Node.js determines module types • Node.js determines[1] module types

    using: ◦ File extensions (*.cjs / *.mjs) ◦ Package metadata (“type”: “module”) if it is *.js © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. *.cjs *.js *.mjs “type”: “commonjs” CJS CJS ESM no “type” field CJS CJS ESM “type”: “module” CJS ESM ESM Conversely, they are not taken into account: • File contents • How the import had been routed (e.g. exports map) [1] https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packagejson-and-file-extensions
  20. How Node.js determines module types Check module types © 2022

    Wantedly, Inc. if (typeof await /0/["test"] === "function") { console.log("I'm ESM"); } else if (typeof require === "function") { console.log("I'm CJS"); } else { console.log("I'm other"); } module-type.js
  21. Check module types © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. if (typeof await

    "type": "module" } package.json $ node module-type.js I’m ESM $ node module-type.cjs I’m CJS $ node module-type.mjs I’m ESM How Node.js determines module types
  24. Semantics of execution • Modules are executed ◦ synchronously in

    CJS ◦ asynchronously in ESM • Consequence👉 CJS cannot import ESM[1] © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. [1]: Precisely speaking, it can wait for the imported module to finish.
  25. Do a time-consuming initialization © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. import {

    setTimeout } from "node:timers/promises"; await setTimeout(3000); // For Node.js < 16.0.0 // await new Proise((r) => setTimeout(r, 3000)); console.log("slept 1s"); sleep.mjs Explicit asynchrony: top-level await
  26. Dependent module may also be asynchronous © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    import { setTimeout } from "node:timers/promises"; await setTimeout(3000); export const value = 42; sleep-lib.mjs Implied asynchrony
  27. Dependent module may also be asynchronous © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    import { value } from "./sleep-lib.mjs"; console.log("value =", value); sleep-app.mjs Implied asynchrony
  28. Dependent module may also be asynchronous © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    const { value } = await import("./sleep-lib.mjs"); console.log("value =", value); sleep-app.mjs (alternative) Expanding implied asynchrony
  29. Require — this is a mere function © 2022 Wantedly,

    Inc. const { value } = require("./sleep-lib.mjs"); console.log("value =", value); sleep-app.cjs Discrepancy in asynchrony Error!
  30. Require — this is a mere function © 2022 Wantedly,

    Inc. const { value } = require("./sleep-lib.mjs"); console.log("value =", value); sleep-app.cjs Discrepancy in asynchrony Error! $ node sleep-app.cjs node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1031 throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, true); ^ Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module sleep-lib.mjs not supported.
  31. TLA — this is not possible © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    const { value } = await import("./sleep-lib.mjs"); console.log("value =", value); sleep-app.cjs Discrepancy in asynchrony Error!
  32. TLA — this is not possible © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    const { value } = await import("./sleep-lib.mjs"); console.log("value =", value); sleep-app.cjs Discrepancy in asynchrony Error! $ node sleep-app.cjs sleep-app.cjs:1 const { value } = await import("./sleep-lib.mjs"); ^^^^^ SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and the top level bodies of modules
  33. Import-then © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. import("./sleep-lib.mjs").then(({ value }) => {

    console.log("value =", value); }); sleep-app.cjs Discrepancy in asynchrony
  34. Import-then: it’s too late for exporting © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

    import("./sleep-lib.mjs").then(({ value }) => { console.log("value =", value); exports.value2 = value * 2; }); sleep-app.cjs Discrepancy in asynchrony Too late!
  35. Default export semantics • Default export is ◦ fancy namespace

    export in CJS ◦ special named export in ESM • Consequence👉 incompatible translations • My library node-cjs-interop[1] helps here. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. [1] https://github.com/qnighy/node-cjs-interop

  117. Modules in bundlers • ESM story in Node.js gets more

    complicated when module bundlers are involved. • In this workshop, we use Webpack (version 5) as an example because it is still the most influential bundler. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.
  118. Modules in Webpack • Webpack generally adheres to Node.js behavior.

    • One big difference: Webpack has two different ESM modes. • It complicates the matter in default export interop. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.

  130. Meta APIs for modules • Node.js implements `import` and `require`

    separately. ◦ Not just the parser, but the whole module lifecycle is implemented differently. • Consequently, they expose different APIs for ESM and CJS. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.
  131. Loader Hook: CJS • require.extensions[2] exists for this. • Isn’t

    it deprecated? Yes, but even @babel/register continues using it. • Things could easily go wrong with this API. Use the pirate[2] package for reliability. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc. [1] https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#requireextensions [2] https://www.npmjs.com/package/pirates

  143. Key takeaways • There are dialects of ES Modules: ◦

    transpiled to CJS and then run ◦ fed to Node.js as-is ◦ fed to Webpack as autodected ESM • Lots of things complicate interoperation between CJS and ESM • But now your hands remember what is happening behind the scenes. Nothing to fear. © 2022 Wantedly, Inc.
