**esm** stands for **ECMAScript Modules** and is the official module system of
|
||
|
|
the JavaScript language, supported both in the browser, and on the server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While ESM is the official standard, before it existed people would typically use CJS outside the browser, as it was popularized by NodeJS.
|
||
|
|
Some libraries still are not available in ESM, but FreeSewing has been ESM-only since version 3.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ESM uses the **import** keyword to import modules:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
import fs from 'fs'
|
||
|
|
```
|
