Not able to import cjs files anymore

[adrai]

Modules like i18next-fs-backend or i18next-http-backend are written to work for Deno, Node.js and browser environments...

And this works until Deno > v1.0.0...

But now stuff like this is not working anymore: i18next/i18next-fs-backend#5

https://github.com/i18next/i18next-fs-backend/blob/master/lib/readFile.js#L4
import * as fsMod from './fs.cjs'

Any advice?

Broken in #5029, should be an easy fix

Can I claim this issue? I will ask if I need any help.

@armujahid thanks, but this issue is currently blocked by another ongoing refactor in: #5817

@kitsonk do you think we could just map .cjs extension to JavaScript media type?

sounds good

[kitsonk]

@bartlomieju it appears in IANA as:

  "application/node": {
    source: "iana",
    extensions: ["cjs"],
  },

So it seems like we could treat it as JavaScript its own thing. Also feels like we should handle the media type "application/node" as well.

Also this where there is .es and .ecma and application/ecmascript:

  "application/ecmascript": {
    source: "iana",
    compressible: true,
    extensions: ["ecma", "es"],
  },

And .mjs which I think we already have:

  "application/javascript": {
    source: "iana",
    charset: "UTF-8",
    compressible: true,
    extensions: ["js", "mjs"],
  },
