nextjs-standalone-esm-bug

To start

npm install

When having a combination of:

  • "type": "module" in package.json
  • output: 'standalone' in next.config.mjs
  • A custom directory to build from when running npm run build custom-dir

Then running:

npm run build custom-dir

The output in custom-dir/.next/standalone/custom-dir/server.js is not ESM compatible.

This means we cannot do:

node custom-dir/.next/standalone/custom-dir/server.js

without getting a reference error ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead.

Expected outcome is for standalone output to be ESM code.
