Please describe your issue:

I’m trying to enable ES6 modules using electron-forge start -- --experimental-modules but I’m getting the following output:

error: unknown option `--experimental-modules'

I’m using Git Bash on Windows 10.

Node.js 13.2.0 recently removed the --experimental-modules flag, making ES Modules enabled by default. 🎉

So we’ll have it by default once Electron starts using Node 13.2 or higher.

I think you’re supposed to put --experimental-modules in the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable, but that doesn’t work when you package the app.

If you want ES Module support, your best bet is esm with minimal changes.
