Node.js helpers

Why?

To share the common code we use in our Node.js scripts and products.

What?

Node.js helpers is a public package, yet will always stay alpha version. The idea here is to share common code(DRY) and tasks with extenders of lion, like ing-web. It consists of helpers and utilities, specific to our use cases, and not intended to be general purpose library.

Example use case: Assume package-x extends @lion/ui and package-x wants to bypass the requirement of export/import map support. In that case same bypass must be done at @lion/ui side as well.

How?

Don't try to predict and write a utility function, in other words, add utilities if and when needed.

Keep the APIs simple, extendable, yet specific to our use cases(KISS), in other words, don't write a generic utility.

Put shared tasks between lion and ing-web(extends lion) here.

bypassImportMap accepts string targets and flat conditional targets. For conditional targets it selects the first import or default entry in declaration order, ignoring types and require because it rewrites ESM source files. Entries without a supported string runtime target are rejected. The package's import map itself is left unchanged. Glob patterns and rewritten ESM specifiers use forward slashes on all platforms, including Windows.
