# <em>µ</em>meta

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/WebReflection/umeta.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/WebReflection/umeta) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/WebReflection/umeta/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/WebReflection/umeta?branch=master)

A _micro_ helper for `import.meta` data.

# Announcement

This module is currently redundant thanks to `import.meta.dirname` and `import.meta.filename` landed in NodeJS LTS.

In Bun those would be the equivalent of `import.meta.dir` and `import.meta.dir + '/' + import.meta.file`.

I think it'd be rather better to normalize Bun than keep parsing `import.meta.url` but basically all I am saying is that this module is dead for good.

### normalization for both NodeJS and Bun

```js
const {
  dirname = import.meta.dir,
  filename = `${import.meta.dir}/${import.meta.file}`,
} = import.meta;

console.log(dirname);
console.log(filename);
```

- - -

```js
import umeta from 'umeta';

const {dirName, fileName, require} = umeta(import.meta);
```

The `dirName` and `fileName` respectively represent `__dirname` and `__filename`, while the `require` utility helps importing conditionally, or on demand, CommonJS friendly modules.

### How to transform `import.meta` for CommonJS ?

There are at least two options:

  * [ascjs](https://github.com/WebReflection/ascjs/#readme), based on `@babel/parser`
  * [ucjs](https://github.com/WebReflection/ucjs/#readme), based on `@babel/core` and with minimal dependencies (compatible with dynamic `import(...)` too)
