I assume that you're talking about tools rather than libraries. Any simple library can import ESM asynchronously and any ESM packages can import CJS packages even with static imports.
Tools and Node’s strict ERR_REQUIRE_ESM have been the problem with the migration.
- conaclos 4y agoIn my experience, you may encounter issues when you depends on pure esm package and cjs-only packages. IMHO, it is still useful to publish a cjs fallback.
- laundermaf 4y agoYou may encounter issues with mixed packages too, actually a lot more issues given that people expect `module.exports = ` and `export default` to be equal but are not. Just save yourself some headache and publish either ESM or CJS, not both.
