Claudia with Node 14 and ES6

[oakleaf]

Since Lambda now supports Node14, it makes sense to support ES6 modules? Maybe Im doing something crazy here, but I just installed latest Claudia.js on my macOS M1, it seems to be homebrewed.

• Expected behaviour:
  Be able to create / use Claudia with ES6 modules/development

• What actually happens:
  When running "claudia create --region eu-north-1 --handler index.handler", I get errors about not using ES5 structure

Console:

bash-3.2# claudia create --region eu-north-1 --handler index.handler
packaging files npm install -q --no-audit --production
npm WARN config production Use `--omit=dev` instead.

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /private/tmp/MsKutW/hello_world-1.0.0-KAgNGL/package/index.js from /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/claudia/src/tasks/validate-package.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/claudia/src/tasks/validate-package.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

cannot require ./index after clean installation. Check your dependencies.

• Link to a minimal, executable project that demonstrates the problem:

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid";

export const handler = async (e) => {
console.log("hello world");
};

• Steps to install the project:
  In package.js, use "type": "module" to enable ES6 compability

• Steps to reproduce the problem:
  Create an ES6 project, with "import" instead of "require", with "type": "module" in package.js. Im getting those errors above..

Thanks!

Claudia needs to provide support for ES Modules in order to provide top level awaits. Without this functionality a different set of tools will be required. Is there any active support for this or should I just move to a different toolkit?
