Notable Changes
npm updated to v10

After two months of baking time in Node.js 20, npm 10 is backported, so that all release lines include a supported version of npm. This release includes npm v10.2.3.

Refer to nodejs/Release#​884 for the plan to land npm 10.

ESM and customization hook changes
Leverage loaders when resolving subsequent loaders

Loaders now apply to subsequent loaders, for example: --experimental-loader ts-node --experimental-loader loader-written-in-typescript.

Contributed by Maël Nison in #​43772.

New node:module API register for module customization hooks; new initialize hook

There is a new API register available on node:module to specify a file that exports module customization hooks, and pass data to the hooks, and establish communication channels with them. The “define the file with the hooks” part was previously handled by a flag --experimental-loader, but when the hooks moved into a dedicated thread in 20.0.0 there was a need to provide a way to communicate between the main (application) thread and the hooks thread. This can now be done by calling register from the main thread and passing data, including MessageChannel instances.

We encourage users to migrate to an approach that uses --import with register, such as:

node --import ./file-that-calls-register.js ./app.js

Using --import ensures that the customization hooks are registered before any application code runs, even the entry point.

import.meta.resolve unflagged

In ES modules, import.meta.resolve(specifier) can be used to get an absolute URL string to which specifier resolves, similar to require.resolve in CommonJS. This aligns Node.js with browsers and other server-side runtimes.

Contributed by Guy Bedford in #​49028.

--experimental-default-type flag to flip module defaults

The new flag --experimental-default-type can be used to flip the default module system used by Node.js. Input that is already explicitly defined as ES modules or CommonJS, such as by a package.json "type" field or .mjs/.cjs file extension or the --input-type flag, is unaffected. What is currently implicitly CommonJS would instead be interpreted as ES modules under --experimental-default-type=module:

  • String input provided via --eval or STDIN, if --input-type is unspecified.

  • Files ending in .js or with no extension, if there is no package.json file present in the same folder or any parent folder.

  • Files ending in .js or with no extension, if the nearest parent package.json field lacks a type field; unless the folder is inside a node_modules folder.

In addition, extensionless files are interpreted as Wasm if --experimental-wasm-modules is passed and the file contains the "magic bytes" Wasm header.
