Provide ESM bundle

[marvin-j97]

Most popular packages have moved on to ESM-only or dual export packages.
Moo is still using the old-fashioned UMD format, being not-really-compatible with modern tooling.

Hi, can you give an example of tooling that is not compatible with Moo today?

I imagine "not-really-compatible" here means "it works completely fine and my packaging script can't exclude compileStates" or "it works completely fine and my editor can't autocomplete the entry point names"

Yeah, without ESM bundle it cannot be tree-shaken... but looking at the source, I'm not sure how much there could be shaken away anyway..?

ESM would allow this, which is a style I use all the time:

import {compile} from 'moo';

I brought it into a Remix app via gqlmin and I am getting the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'states')
    at Module.minify [as default] (/node_modules/gqlmin/dist/index.js:4:21)

When I add moo to the optimizeDeps of Vite, this issue goes away.

When I add moo to the optimizeDeps of Vite, this issue goes away.

Can you explain in detail how you did it please ? Because when I add the code above to my vite.config.js file, I still have an error message in my console Uncaught TypeError: import_moo.default.states is not a function.

My vite.config.js :

export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => {
  const env = loadEnv(mode, process.cwd(), '')

  return {
     ...
    optimizeDeps: {
      include: ['moo'],
    },
    ...
}

[weotch]

Yeah, here's the relevant bit from my vite.config.ts:

export default defineConfig({
  ssr: {
    optimizeDeps: {
      include: [
        'moo', // Used by gqlmin
      ],
    },
  },
  optimizeDeps: {
    include: [
      'moo', // Used by gqlmin
    ],
  }
});

This is for a Remix / Hydrogen app

Thank you for your answer but it did not work for me, I still got the same error. At the end, I have just changed the parent library, citation-js from where moo was a dependency to @citation-js/core where moo is no longer a dependency.
