Please take notice that we have an extra 5 minutes of unclaimed time. We can use that to go over or add an agenda item.

[GeoffreyBooth]

I was hoping @guybedford could give a demo of his branch that implements the package exports and file specifier resolution specs. That could go in those timeboxes or we could add it as 5 minutes? https://github.com/guybedford/node/tree/irp-implementation / nodejs/ecmascript-modules#22

Update: added.

[jdalton]

I'm going to miss this week. I'll be speaking at CovalenceConf.

[bmeck]

I will not be able to attend.

[hybrist]

I will also miss today's meeting.

[guybedford]

I've posted a discussion about "exports" for CommonJS here - hybrist/proposal-pkg-exports#26.

[guybedford]

If anyone would like to try the demo from the talk, the build files are now available at:

https://nodejs.org/download/test/v12.0.0-test20190116irp-mode-implementation/

This can also be compared against the build without "mode": "esm" using "exports" only as the ".js as ESM" indicator:

https://nodejs.org/download/test/v12.0.0-test20190116irp-implementation/

If you find any bugs please post to https://github.com/guybedford/node/.

For spec discussions, feel free to open an issue on the appropriate spec (https://github.com/GeoffreyBooth/node-import-file-specifier-resolution-proposal, https://github.com/jkrems/proposal-pkg-exports/, https://github.com/guybedford/ecmascript-modules-mode).
