Dynamic imports for all
Using dynamic import
in legacy compiled-to-JS environments can be problematic. It's often transpiled to require
by Babel, TypeScript etc. Configurations can be changed to not do this, but that can have other unintended side effects on resulting compiled code.
inclusion
wraps import
so that it can be used in these scenarios. It's also fine to use it for other scenarios.
inclusion(modulePath) => Promise => exports
Given an ESM module (someEsmModule
) like the following:
export default function () { return 'hi' }
export const ABC = 123
We can import and interact with it in a CJS environment (which is what most compile-to-JS libraries still currently do, as used in the wild), like so:
'use strict'
async function doSomething () {
const { default: someEsmModule, ABC } = await inclusion('some-esm-module')
console.log(someEsmModule(), ABC) // hi 123
}
