package.json missing type: module

[unional]

This is needed for nodejs: https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html
Because of that, I think the exports: {...} does not do what it wanted to do at the moment.

No, type: module is for overriding JS extensions to mean ES modules. exports should work regardless.

What do you mean by "does not do what it wanted to do" - if it doesn't work for you, can you please provide some sample code, what error you're getting and the expected behaviour?

Here is a very quick test showing that importing does work:

import { version } from "acorn";
console.log(version);

> node index.mjs
8.8.1

ar, yes, you are correct. Because you are doing exports: { import: "./dist/acron.mjs" },

so type: module is optional.

I missed that and though it falls under this issue: microsoft/TypeScript#49083 (comment)

thanks!
