> Module resolution utilities for Node.js (based on previous work in [unjs/mlly](https://github.com/unjs/mlly), [wooorm/import-meta-resolve](https://github.com/wooorm/import-meta-resolve), and the upstream [Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/node) implementation).
This library exposes an API similar to [`import.meta.resolve`](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#importmetaresolvespecifier) based on Node.js's upstream implementation and [resolution algorithm](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_resolution_algorithm). It supports all built-in functionalities—import maps, export maps, CJS, and ESM—with some additions:
- Pure JS with no native dependencies (only Node.js is required).
- Built-in resolve [cache](#resolve-cache).
- Throws an error (or [try](#try)) if the resolved path does not exist in the filesystem.
- Can override the default [conditions](#conditions).
- Can resolve [from](#from) one or more parent URLs.
- Can resolve with custom [suffixes](#suffixes).
- Can resolve with custom [extensions](#extensions).
## Usage
Install the package:
```sh
# ✨ Auto-detect (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun, deno)
npx nypm install exsolve
```
Import:
```ts
// ESM import
import {
resolveModuleURL,
resolveModulePath,
createResolver,
clearResolveCache,
} from "exsolve";
// Or using dynamic import
const { resolveModulePath } = await import("exsolve");
```
```ts
resolveModuleURL(id, {
/* options */
});
resolveModulePath(id, {
/* options */
});
```
Differences between `resolveModuleURL` and `resolveModulePath`:
- `resolveModuleURL` returns a URL string like `file:///app/dep.mjs`.
- `resolveModulePath` returns an absolute path like `/app/dep.mjs`.
- If the resolved URL does not use the `file://` scheme (e.g., `data:` or `node:`), it will throw an error.
## Resolver with options
You can create a custom resolver instance with default [options](#resolve-options) using `createResolver`.
**Example:**
```ts
import { createResolver } from "exsolve";
const { resolveModuleURL, resolveModulePath } = createResolver({
suffixes: ["", "/index"],
extensions: [".mjs", ".cjs", ".js", ".mts", ".cts", ".ts", ".json"],
conditions: ["node", "import", "production"],
});
```
## Resolve cache
To speed up resolution, resolved values (and errors) are globally cached with a unique key based on id and options.
**Example:** Invalidate all (global) cache entries (to support file-system changes).
```ts
import { clearResolveCache } from "exsolve";
clearResolveCache();
```
**Example:** Custom resolver with custom cache object.
```ts
import { createResolver } from "exsolve";
const { clearResolveCache, resolveModulePath } = createResolver({
cache: new Map(),
});
```
**Example:** Resolve without cache.
```ts
import { resolveModulePath } from "exsolve";
resolveModulePath("id", { cache: false });
```
## Resolve Options
### `try`
If set to `true` and the module cannot be resolved, the resolver returns `undefined` instead of throwing an error.
**Example:**
```ts
// undefined
const resolved = resolveModuleURL("non-existing-package", { try: true });
```
### `from`
A URL, path, or array of URLs/paths from which to resolve the module.
If not provided, resolution starts from the current working directory. Setting this option is recommended.
You can use `import.meta.url` for `from` to mimic the behavior of `import.meta.resolve()`.
> [!TIP]
> For better performance, ensure the value is a `file://` URL or at least ends with `/`.
>
> If it is set to an absolute path, the resolver must first check the filesystem to see if it is a file or directory.
> If the input is a `file://` URL or ends with `/`, the resolver can skip this check.
### `conditions`
Conditions to apply when resolving package exports (default: `["node", "import"]`).
**Example:**
```ts
// "/app/src/index.ts"
const src = resolveModuleURL("pkg-name", {
conditions: ["deno", "node", "import", "production"],
});
```
> [!NOTE]
> Conditions are applied **without order**. The order is determined by the `exports` field in `package.json`.
### `extensions`
Additional file extensions to check as fallbacks.
**Example:**
```ts
// "/app/src/index.ts"
const src = resolveModulePath("./src/index", {
extensions: [".mjs", ".cjs", ".js", ".mts", ".cts", ".ts", ".json"],
});
```
> [!TIP]
> For better performance, use explicit extensions and avoid this option.
### `suffixes`
Path suffixes to check.
**Example:**
```ts
// "/app/src/utils/index.ts"
const src = resolveModulePath("./src/utils", {
suffixes: ["", "/index"],
extensions: [".mjs", ".cjs", ".js"],
});
```
> [!TIP]
> For better performance, use explicit `/index` when needed and avoid this option.
### `cache`
Resolve cache (enabled by default with a shared global object).
Can be set to `false` to disable or a custom `Map` to bring your own cache object.
See [cache](#resolve-cache) for more info.
## Other Performance Tips
**Use explicit module extensions `.mjs` or `.cjs` instead of `.js`:**
This allows the resolution fast path to skip reading the closest `package.json` for the [`type`](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#type).
