The esm dist errors where the commonjs dist works

[ccouzens]

Hello,

Thank you for your project.

I've found that when using browsersWithSupportForFeatures I get an error when using esmodules, but not when using commonjs. I've attached 2 test files below. example.js and example.mjs are effectively the same except for .js uses commonjs and .mjs uses esmodules.
The path to the code imported is node_modules/browserslist-generator/dist/cjs/index.cjs for the .js and node_modules/browserslist-generator/dist/esm/index.js for the .mjs.

I've reproduced this on node v18.16.0 and v20.12.2. My browserslist-generator is

      "version": "2.1.0",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/browserslist-generator/-/browserslist-generator-2.1.0.tgz",
      "integrity": "sha512-ZFz4mAOgqm0cbwKaZsfJbYDbTXGoPANlte7qRsRJOfjB9KmmISQrXJxAVrnXG8C8v/QHNzXyeJt0Cfcks6zZvQ==",

example.js

const {browsersWithSupportForFeatures} = require("browserslist-generator");

console.log(browsersWithSupportForFeatures("es6-module", "shadowdomv1", "custom-elementsv1"))

example.mjs

import {browsersWithSupportForFeatures} from "browserslist-generator";

console.log(browsersWithSupportForFeatures("es6-module", "shadowdomv1", "custom-elementsv1"))

Node.js v18.16.0

I am happy to help solve this, although it may be a few days before I get round to it.

I have just ran into this issue, both within the browser via esm.sh distribution, and within a vanilla Node 22.11.0 environment.

It seems like this import with module attributes results in all of the MDN data getting nested within a default property, which breaks everything expecting it to be available on the top-level object.

import * as compatData from "@mdn/browser-compat-data" with {type: "json"};
