* `specifier` {string} The module specifier to resolve relative to the
current module.

* Returns: {string} The absolute URL string that the specifier would resolve to.
[`import.meta.resolve`][] is a module-relative resolution function scoped to
each module, returning the URL string.
```js
const dependencyAsset = import.meta.resolve('component-lib/asset.css');
// file:///app/node_modules/component-lib/asset.css
import.meta.resolve('./dep.js');
// file:///app/dep.js
```
All features of the Node.js module resolution are supported. Dependency
resolutions are subject to the permitted exports resolutions within the package.
```js
import.meta.resolve('./dep', import.meta.url);
// file:///app/dep
```

* This can result in synchronous file-system operations, which

* This feature is not available within custom loaders (it would
create a deadlock).
Previously, Node.js implemented an asynchronous resolver which also permitted
a second contextual argument. The implementation has since been updated to be
synchronous, with the second contextual `parent` argument still accessible
behind the `--experimental-import-meta-resolve` flag:
**Non-standard API**:
* `parent` {string|URL} An optional absolute parent module URL to resolve from.
When using the `--experimental-import-meta-resolve` flag, that function accepts
a second argument:

**Default:** `import.meta.url`
