Cannot read package information if using meow in ESM

[LitoMore]

meow is using module.parent.filename as parentDir to read package info:

const parentDir = path.dirname(module.parent && module.parent.filename ? module.parent.filename : '.');

But in ESM, we cannot use __filename anymore.

Do you have any plan move this package to ESM?

@sindresorhus And I wonder how you would solve this problem?

[LitoMore]

We can resolve #125 at the same time.

[sindresorhus]

Yeah. PR welcome to move meow to ESM.

See:

I'm going to use this code below to instead CommonJS module's __filename:

import {fileURLToPath} from 'url';

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);

[sindresorhus]

This is not fixed until we add back support for the package.json reading.

I tested this issue on the main branch and looks good.

Is there any edge case that will cause the read package issue?

[sindresorhus]

I'm not sure what you're asking. You removed the old workaround for clearing the require cache. We now need to allow the user to pass in import.meta somehow to be able to know the meow consumer's CWD.

Oh, I see. Let me continue on this work.
