ES6 Modules

NodeJS now is able to have module there is a few differences:

require become import
__dirname, __filename are not available anymore

Typescript is not adding the .js at the end of import, compiling to a non-working code. I cannot disagree more with the Microsoft team on this one, so to simplify the webda build command will add .js for every local import found.

Webda itself have to build the core module with tsc-esm it is a mod around typescript to add the .js extension for you.

If you need __dirname or __filename you can use:

import { getCommonJS } from "@webda/core";
const { __dirname, __filename } = getCommonJS(import.meta.url);
