📗 API Reference Docs Problem

• Version: 14.7.0

• Subsystem: ESM

Location

Affected URL(s):

• https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/docs/api/esm.html#esm_approach_1_use_an_es_module_wrapper

Description

I was wondering if it would be better to write this example as:

{
  "type": "commonjs",
  "main": "./index.js",
  "exports": {
    "import": "./wrapper.mjs",
    "require": "./index.js"
  }
}

since its current form might be misleading for package maintainers that want to support both ESM and CommonJS contexts. Maybe what happened here could be prevented if the documentation was more clear.
