# Maintaining cjs-module-lexer
|
|
|
|
The [cjs-module-lexer](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/HEAD/deps/cjs-module-lexer)
|
|
dependency is used within the Node.js ESM implementation to detect the
|
|
named exports of a CommonJS module.
|
|
|
|
It is used within
|
|
[`node:internal/modules/esm/translators`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/HEAD/lib/internal/modules/esm/translators.js)
|
|
in which both `internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer` and
|
|
`internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/dist/lexer` are required and used.
|
|
|
|
`internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer`
|
|
is a regular JavaScript implementation that is
|
|
used when WebAssembly is not available on a platform.
|
|
`internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/dist/lexer` is a faster
|
|
implementation using WebAssembly which is generated from a
|
|
C based implementation. These two paths
|
|
resolve to the files in `deps/cjs-module-lexer` due to their
|
|
inclusion in the `deps_files` entry in
|
|
[node.gyp](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/node.gyp).
|
|
|
|
The two different versions of lexer.js are maintained in the
|
|
[nodejs/cjs-module-lexer][] project.
|
|
|
|
In order to update the Node.js dependencies to use to a newer version
|
|
of cjs-module-lexer, complete the following steps:
|
|
|
|
* Clone [nodejs/cjs-module-lexer][]
|
|
and check out the version that you want Node.js to use.
|
|
* Follow the WASM build steps outlined in
|
|
[wasm-build-steps](https://github.com/nodejs/cjs-module-lexer#wasm-build-steps).
|
|
This will generate the WASM based dist/lexer.js file.
|
|
* Preserving the same directory structure, copy the following files over
|
|
to `deps/cjs-module-lexer` directory where you have checked out Node.js.

|

|
|
* Update the link to the cjs-module-lexer in the list at the end of
|
|
[doc/api/esm.md](../../api/esm.md)
|
|
to point to the updated version.
|
|
|
|
* Create a PR, adding the files in the deps/cjs-module-lexer that
|
|
were modified.
|
|
|
|
If updates are needed to cjs-module-lexer for Node.js, first PR
|
|
those updates into
|
|
[nodejs/cjs-module-lexer][],
|
|
request a release and then pull in the updated version once available.
