javascript.operators.import_meta - Missing import.meta.dirname / import.meta.filename support for node

[0xdevalias]

What type of issue is this?

Missing compatibility data

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

There are no entries for import.meta.filename / import.meta.dirname support in node (and I think also bun and similar possibly?)

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Node.js

What did you expect to see?

I expected to be able to see what version of node started supporting import.meta.filename / import.meta.dirname

Did you test this? If so, how?

I looked at the data:

• https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/7e561d9107ffff4df51af96057def2030c0cc8ad/javascript/operators/import_meta.json

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?

We can see more about when import.meta was introduced here:

• Add import.meta.directory and import.meta.file properties nodejs/node#47756
• esm: add import.meta.dirname and import.meta.filename nodejs/node#48740
  • Skimming through this PR, it seems import.meta.dirname/similar support was introduced in node 20.11.0

We can confirm that in the node docs, seeing that only import.meta.url / import.meta.resolve are available in node 19.x:

• https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v19.x/api/esm.html#importmeta

But from node 20.x+, import.meta.dirname / import.meta.filename are also available:

• https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v20.x/api/esm.html#importmeta
