ModuleImporter is a Node.js utility that helps you import modules regardless of whether they are CommonJS or ESM, using Node’s `import()` and CommonJS compatibility. It also makes it easier to resolve and import modules from a chosen directory (not just relative to the calling file location), so you can use a single method without compatibility issues.
Project status
- The source shows evidence of maintenance, with a recent update in 2025-02-19 (v1.0.2) following a multi-year gap since v1.0.1 in 2022-08-18.
- Apparent update cadence is low and irregular, about 3.5 years between v1.0.1 and v1.0.2, and just over a day between v1.0.0 and v1.0.1, suggesting early stabilization and then a long quiet period.
