resolve.exports

A tiny (952b), correct, general-purpose, and configurable
"exports"
and"imports"
resolver without file-system reliance
Why?
Hopefully, this module may serve as a reference point (and/or be used directly) so that the varying tools and bundlers within the ecosystem can share a common approach with one another as well as with the native Node.js implementation.
With the push for ESM, we must be very careful and avoid fragmentation. If we, as a community, begin propagating different dialects of the resolution algorithm, then we're headed for deep trouble. It will make supporting (and using) "exports"
nearly impossible, which may force its abandonment and along with it, its benefits.
Let's have nice things.
Install
$ npm install resolve.exports
Usage
Please see
/test/
for examples.
import * as resolve from 'resolve.exports';
// package.json contents
const pkg = {
"name": "foobar",
"module": "dist/module.mjs",
"main": "dist/require.js",
"imports": {
"#hash": {
"import": {
"browser": "./hash/web.mjs",
"node": "./hash/node.mjs",
},
"default": "./hash/detect.js"
}
},
"exports": {

};

resolve.exports(pkg);

// Toggle "browser" condition
// conditions: ["default", "worker", "import", "browser"]
resolve.exports(pkg, 'foobar/lite', {
conditions: ['worker'],
browser: true
}); //=> ["./lite/worker.browser.js"]
// Disable non-"default" condition activate
// NOTE: breaks from Node.js default behavior
// conditions: ["default", "custom"]
resolve.exports(pkg, 'foobar/lite', {
conditions: ['custom'],
unsafe: true,
});
//=> Error: No known conditions for "./lite" specifier in "foobar" package
// ---
// Imports
// ---
// conditions: ["default", "import", "node"]
resolve.imports(pkg, '#hash');
resolve.imports(pkg, 'foobar/#hash');
//=> ["./hash/node.mjs"]
// conditions: ["default", "import", "browser"]
resolve.imports(pkg, '#hash', { browser: true });
resolve.imports(pkg, 'foobar/#hash');
//=> ["./hash/web.mjs"]
// conditions: ["default"]
resolve.imports(pkg, '#hash', { unsafe: true });
resolve.imports(pkg, 'foobar/#hash');
//=> ["./hash/detect.mjs"]
resolve.imports(pkg, '#hello/world');
resolve.imports(pkg, 'foobar/#hello/world');
//=> Error: Missing "#hello/world" specifier in "foobar" package
// ---
// Legacy
// ---
// prefer "module" > "main" (default)
resolve.legacy(pkg); //=> "dist/module.mjs"
// customize fields order
resolve.legacy(pkg, {
fields: ['main', 'module']
}); //=> "dist/require.js"
API
The resolve()
, exports()
, and imports()
functions share similar API signatures:
export function resolve(pkg: Package, entry?: string, options?: Options): string[] | undefined;
export function exports(pkg: Package, entry?: string, options?: Options): string[] | undefined;
export function imports(pkg: Package, target: string, options?: Options): string[] | undefined;
// ^ not optional!
All three:
- accept a
package.json
file's contents as a JSON object - accept a target/entry identifier
- may accept an Options object
- return
string[]
,string
, orundefined
The only difference is that imports()
must accept a target identifier as there can be no inferred default.
See below for further API descriptions.
Note: There is also a Legacy Resolver API
resolve(pkg, entry?, options?)
Returns: string[]
or undefined
A convenience helper which automatically reroutes to exports()
or imports()
depending on the entry
value.
When unspecified, entry
defaults to the "."
identifier, which means that exports()
will be invoked.
import * as r from 'resolve.exports';
let pkg = {
name: 'foobar',
// ...
};
r.resolve(pkg);
//~> r.exports(pkg, '.');
r.resolve(pkg, 'foobar');
//~> r.exports(pkg, '.');
r.resolve(pkg, 'foobar/subpath');
//~> r.exports(pkg, './subpath');
r.resolve(pkg, '#hash/md5');
//~> r.imports(pkg, '#hash/md5');
r.resolve(pkg, 'foobar/#hash/md5');
//~> r.imports(pkg, '#hash/md5');
exports(pkg, entry?, options?)
Returns: string[]
or undefined
Traverse the "exports"
within the contents of a package.json
file.
If the contents does not contain an "exports"
map, then undefined
will be returned.
Successful resolutions will always result in a string
or string[]
value. This will be the value of the resolved mapping itself – which means that the output is a relative file path.
This function may throw an Error if:
- the requested
entry
cannot be resolved (aka, not defined in the"exports"
map) - an
entry
is defined but no known conditions were matched (seeoptions.conditions
)
pkg
Type: object
Required: true
The package.json
contents.
entry
Type: string
Required: false
Default: .
(aka, root)
The desired target entry, or the original import
path.
When entry
is not a relative path (aka, does not start with '.'
), then entry
is given the './'
prefix.
When entry
begins with the package name (determined via the pkg.name
value), then entry
is truncated and made relative.
When entry
is already relative, it is accepted as is.
Examples
Assume we have a module named "foobar" and whose pkg
contains "name": "foobar"
.
entry value |
treated as | reason |
---|---|---|
null / undefined |
'.' |
default |
'.' |
'.' |
value was relative |
'foobar' |
'.' |
value was pkg.name |
'foobar/lite' |
'./lite' |
value had pkg.name prefix |
'./lite' |
'./lite' |
value was relative |
'lite' |
'./lite' |
value was not relative & did not have pkg.name prefix |
imports(pkg, target, options?)
Returns: string[]
or undefined
Traverse the "imports"
within the contents of a package.json
file.
If the contents does not contain an "imports"
map, then undefined
will be returned.
Successful resolutions will always result in a string
or string[]
value. This will be the value of the resolved mapping itself – which means that the output is a relative file path.
This function may throw an Error if:
- the requested
target
cannot be resolved (aka, not defined in the"imports"
map) - an
target
is defined but no known conditions were matched (seeoptions.conditions
)
pkg
Type: object
Required: true
The package.json
contents.
target
Type: string
Required: true
The target import identifier; for example, #hash
or #hash/md5
.
Import specifiers must begin with the #
character, as required by the resolution specification. However, if target
begins with the package name (determined by the pkg.name
value), then resolve.exports
will trim it from the target
identifier. For example, "foobar/#hash/md5"
will be treated as "#hash/md5"
for the "foobar"
package.
Options
The resolve()
, imports()
, and exports()
functions share these options. All properties are optional and you are not required to pass an options
argument.
Collectively, the options
are used to assemble a list of conditions that should be activated while resolving your
