# esm The brilliantly simple, babel-less, bundle-less ECMAScript module loader. > `esm` is the world’s most advanced ECMAScript module loader. This fast, production ready, zero dependency loader is all you need to support ECMAScript modules in Node 6+. See the release [post](https://medium.com/web-on-the-edge/tomorrows-es-modules-today-c53d29ac448c) and [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcZ-FzfDq8A#t=5) for details! Install --- * __New projects__ Run `npm init esm` or `yarn create esm`. :bulb: Use the `-y` flag to answer “yes” to all prompts. * __Existing projects__ Run `npm i esm` or `yarn add esm`. Getting started --- There are two ways to enable `esm`. 1. Enable `esm` for packages: Use `esm` to load the main ES module and export it as CommonJS. __index.js__ ```js // Set options as a parameter, environment variable, or rc file. require = require("esm")(module/*, options*/) module.exports = require("./main.js") ``` __main.js__ ```js // ESM syntax is supported. export {} ``` :bulb: These files are automagically created with `npm init esm` or `yarn create esm`. 2. Enable `esm` for local runs: ```shell node -r esm main.js ``` :bulb: Omit the filename to enable `esm` in the REPL. Features --- :clap: By default, :100: percent CJS interoperability is enabled so you can get stuff done.
:lock: `.mjs` files are limited to basic functionality without support for `esm` options. Out of the box `esm` just works, no configuration necessary, and supports: * Passing all applicable [test262](https://github.com/tc39/test262) compliance tests * [`import`](https://ponyfoo.com/articles/es6-modules-in-depth#import)/[`export`](https://ponyfoo.com/articles/es6-modules-in-depth#export) * [`import.meta`](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-import-meta) * [Dynamic `import`](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-dynamic-import) * [Live bindings](https://ponyfoo.com/articles/es6-modules-in-depth#bindings-not-values) * [File URI scheme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme) * Node `stdin`, [`--eval`](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_e_eval_script), [`--print`](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_p_print_script) flags * Node [`--check`](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_c_check) flag _(Node 10+)_ Options --- Specify options with one of the following: * `"esm"` field in `package.json` * CJS/ESM in an `.esmrc.js`, `.esmrc.cjs`, or `.esmrc.mjs` file * [JSON6](https://github.com/d3x0r/json6) in an `.esmrc` or `.esmrc.json` file * JSON6 or file path in the `ESM_OPTIONS` environment variable * `ESM_DISABLE_CACHE` environment variable

Tips --- ### Bundling * For bundlers like [`browserify`](http://browserify.org/)+[`esmify`](https://github.com/mattdesl/esmify), [`parcel-bundler`](https://parceljs.org/), and [`webpack`](https://webpack.js.org/) add a `"module"` field to `package.json` pointing to the main ES module. ```json "main": "index.js", "module": "main.js" ``` :bulb: This is automagically done with `npm init esm` or `yarn create esm`. ### Extensions * Enable `esm` for [`wallaby.js`](https://wallabyjs.com/) following their [integration example](https://wallabyjs.com/docs/integration/node.html#es-modules). ### Loading * Load `esm` before loaders/monitors like [`@babel/register`](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/babel-register.html), [`newrelic`](https://github.com/newrelic/node-newrelic), [`sqreen`](https://docs.sqreen.io/sqreen-for-nodejs/getting-started-2/), and [`ts-node`](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node#programmatic). * Load `esm` for [`jasmine`](https://jasmine.github.io/) using the [`"helpers"`](https://jasmine.github.io/setup/nodejs.html#configuration) field in `jasmine.json`: ```json "helpers": [ "node_modules/esm" ] ``` * Load `esm` with “node-args" options of:
- [`pm2`](https://pm2.io/doc/en/runtime/reference/pm2-cli/#pm2-flags): `--node-args="-r esm"` * Load `esm` with “require” options of [`ava`](https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/master/docs/recipes/es-modules.md), [`mocha`](https://mochajs.org/#-require-module-r-module), [`nodemon`](https://nodemon.io/), [`nyc`](https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc#require-additional-modules), [`qunit`](https://github.com/qunitjs/qunit/releases/tag/2.6.0), [`tape`](https://github.com/substack/tape#preloading-modules), and [`webpack`](https://webpack.js.org/api/cli/#config-options). :bulb: Builtin `require` cannot sideload `.mjs` files. However, `.js` files can be sideloaded or `.mjs` files may be loaded with dynamic `import`.
