The missing one-liner utility to get the dirname from import.meta.url.
Requires Node 12.17.0 or Node 14.0.0.
Starting in Node 20.11.0 and Node 21.2.0 this is now built in: import.meta.dirname / import.meta.filename
npm i desm
import desm from 'desm'
console.log(desm(import.meta.url))or
import { dirname, filename, join } from 'desm'
// same as CommonJS __dirname
console.log(dirname(import.meta.url))
// same as CommonJS __filename
console.log(filename(import.meta.url))
// same as CommonJS path.join(__dirname, 'routes')
console.log(join(import.meta.url, 'routes'))
// same as CommonJS path.join(__dirname, '..', 'other')
console.log(join(import.meta.url, '..', 'other'))MIT
