yes it works with your existing CommonJS project too 👀

  @zachleat Does this work through the `exports` config in Eleventy’s `package.json`…?
  1. Zach Leatherman 43 min later
    
    @jgarber it’s using .mjs or .js with `type` in package.json.
    Do you mean for packages that export multiple formats?
    1. Jason Garber 3 hr later
      
      @zachleat Ah, gotcha!
      Yeah, I was referencing packages exporting multiple formats.
      I’ve been spending a lot of time on this docs page recently, so it was top-of-mind:

@zachleat Holy shit, congratulations! Having moved a couple of tangly projects from CJS to ESM I have IMMENSE respect for the work I know it took to do this. I'm super excited!

  @eaton @zachleat I prefer ESM but its implementation is a pox on application development for the backend.
  1. Eaton 1 hr later
    
    @tanepiper @zachleat Yeah, the value feels less *inherent* for backend and more *cumulative* as more packages go ESM-only
