Migrate the usage of CommonJS specific code and imports to ESM. Roughly
summarised this:
- Changes all require() calls to import statement or expressions.
- Changes usage of module.exports to export statements.
- Replaces require.resolve with import.meta.resolve.
- Replaces conditional imports with conditional subpath imports.
- Replaces module === require.main with import.meta.main.
- Adds the full filename with extention to all relative imports.
- Changes all usage of __dirname and __filename to their import.meta
equivalents.
- Sets "type": "module" in package.json files.
- Removes usage of "use strict".
- Adds .ts an an alias of .js for the webpack build.
Due to differences in how require and import resolves files the plugin
entrypoints will have to include the filename and extension after this
migration in order to work.
Change the expected exported name of plugin declarations to be "plugin"
at the main entrypoint instead of the default export. This makes the
plugin's code organisation more flexible especially when using CommonJS
JavaScript modules as they can export additional symbols from the
plugin declaration file.
Refactor away the config group concept and simplyfy the way config
fields are defined. Fields are defined directly as properties of the
static field fieldDefinitions on the class itself with a separate
interface to declare the types of fields.
This makes it possible to easily make accessing the config fields type
checked in a way that lets plugins extend the interfaces with their own
config options by adding additional fields to the interface via
declation merging.
