ECMAScript modules support (and docs)

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Most of the examples in the README.md is using CommonsJS require/export. Some docs use ECMAScript modules import/export

Considering Node.js 10 has reached EOL, and that Jest 27 has released, the whole community is rallying around ESM. I think it would make sense to update all documents to be in ESM rather than CJS.

Edit: It seems jest-playwright does not support e.g. jest-playwright.config.js to be written in ESM. So the request is to support ESM. See below.

@mxschmitt then I think that the README.md should be updated:

It’s more flexible, lightweight, optimized for Playwright, and has TypeScript support out of the box. This doesn’t mean, that we stop with maintaining this package.
