Understanding and using npm exports

Read Original

This technical article provides a detailed explanation of the npm 'exports' field in package.json. It covers the basic syntax for defining entry points, using subpath exports, and implementing wildcard patterns. The guide also explains how to differentiate between CommonJS (CJS) and ECMAScript Modules (ESM) by specifying separate 'require' and 'import' paths, enabling library authors to support both module systems effectively.
