René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Examples of ES Modules","articleBody":"I have been attempting to follow the evolving discussion around ESM support in Node.js, but I'm very confused about some fundamental points, and I suspect others are as well. In particular, I can't figure out whether `import` only _operate on_ files with `mjs` extensions or work _within_ files with mjs extension. [Statements like this](https://github.com/nodejs/modules/blob/master/doc/plan-for-new-modules-implementation.md#phase-1-the-minimal-kernel) unfortunately do not clear it up for me:\r\n\r\n\u003e import statements will only support files with an .mjs extension, and will import only ES modules, for now.\r\n\r\nAlso: `module.createRequireFromPath`. I have no idea how I'd even start to use this method. I'm the \"javascript expert\" at my work but I struggle to explain the future (or present state) of module loading in \r\nJavaScript so I'm keen to understand this better.\r\n\r\n🙏 **Request**: Is a list of concrete examples in the offing? A blog post, a repository, or a gist of runnable examples would be very helpful.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Sequoia","@type":"Person","name":"Sequoia"},"datePublished":"2018-10-25T13:48:11.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":14},"url":"https://github.com/210/modules/issues/210"}
