Is there any way to consume unist-util-visit from commonjs module synchronously

[maxkoretskyi]

I'm stuck with a webpack config that is commonjs and doesn't allow async module load. I need to use unist-util-visit library. What are my options? Maybe somehow build the library locally into commonjs?

If you really need to use CJS, you can use for example esbuild to build unist-util-visit and its dependencies into a CJS bundle.

However, I would like to point out that Webpack supports ESM configuration files. I recommend to use that instead if possible.

thanks! is there a guide on how to do that?

yeah, I know, but my webpack config extends cjs webpack config that I don't have access, so I can't have part cjs and part esm

npx esbuild unist-util-visit --bundle --platform=node --outfile=vendor/unist-util-visit.cjs
