Add support for the installation of ES modules in a project and base on Node 16.
Since Node 14 is reaching end of life, many packages are dropping support for for it. Many packages also prefer/require the use of ES modules.
I'm not an expert, so this PR is based on the changes from the two branches that introduce ES module support and the Node 16 support. After testing it looks like the build process does not put the
package.json
file in themu
package. This is a requirement for any Node package, especially when Node looks for settings like"type": "module"
in the package. This PR tries to fix that by just copying that file while also copying the Babel config for transpilation, but thetranspile-sources.sh
is convoluted, so this needs to be tested/rewritten more thoroughly.
