Maybe it would be more consistent with other cases to add this to type parser between other Node.js "types". But I am not sure if we should do this for all solitary cases.

Is there a way to support simply passing the url string around? Smoothing that over to just work without having to instantiate the URL constructor for things like this would be nice.

its done like that to mirror how fs
allows URL
objects, i would rather not diverge from that
What is the use-case for this? |
@vkurchatkin mostly just what the example has, but i've found myself creating require functions twice now for things not related to this (mostly very reflective/hacky stuff) and so i thought it might be useful to just make a utility function |
this could use a few more approvals |
The bar for new APIs should be higher than 'might be useful,' IMO. The price of design mistakes is high. |
@bnoordhuis this is designed to alleviate some issues with cjs and esm interop, it's definitely something that will be useful and used, not just a random feature. if you're worried about design mistakes I encourage that you to review this in depth :) |
Still seems more inconvenient than needed. |
CC: @nodejs/modules I'd like to reopen this for discussion in light of some conversation going on in the modules WG nodejs/modules#130 (comment) and the comments leading up to it. In particular, if exposing this is better than shipping It does have the ability for us to create new I'd note that you can create something akin to function makeRequire(filepath) {
const Module = require('module');
const m = new Module(filepath, null);
m._compile('module.exports=require', filepath);
return m.exports;
} I don't think using `m._compile` is problematic in my example and would refrain from that discussion.I took a look at how much `m._compile` corresponds to in the wild usage and I see it used in a variety of places and don't think that it could easily be changed from current the CJS implementation : https://github.com/search?q=_compile+language%3Ajavascript&type=Code , there are false positives but plenty that look to be usage of it from Node's core.In particular, this is an API ergonomics question I think. |

I have needed this at various times (mostly for "require relative to project directory"). I'm not sure this is a replacement for import.meta.require
but I think it's a worthwhile feature even from a pure CJS perspective.

Some explanation about why this is useful would probably be a good thing in here. It will be non-obvious to many users and the lack of explanation could lead to confusion.

Can you also add an example using cjs and require? This is useful outside of ESM.
Notable changes: * fs * Added a `recursive` option to `fs.mkdir` and `fs.mkdirSync`. If this option is set to `true`, non-existing parent folders will be automatically created. #21875 * Fixed fsPromises.readdir `withFileTypes`. #22832 * http2 * Added `http2stream.endAfterHeaders` property. #22843 * module * Added `module.createRequireFromPath(filename)`. This new method can be used to create a custom `require` function that will resolve modules relative to the `filename` path. #19360 * url * Added `url.fileURLToPath(url)` and `url.pathToFileURL(path)`. These methods can be used to correctly convert between `file:` URLs and absolute paths. #22506 * util * Added `util.types.isBoxedPrimitive(value)`. #22620 * Windows * The Windows msi installer now provides an option to automatically install the tools required to build native modules. #22645 * Added new collaborators: * boneskull (https://github.com/boneskull) - Christopher Hiller * The Technical Steering Committee has new members: * apapirovski (https://github.com/apapirovski) - Anatoli Papirovski * gabrielschulhof (https://github.com/gabrielschulhof) - Gabriel Schulhof PR-URL: #22932
