models/index.js doesn't work with ES6 modules

What you are doing?

Trying to load models with models/index.js doesn’t work with ES6 modules activated with "type": "module"

const basename = path.basename(__filename);
// {...}
const model = require(path.join(__dirname, file))(sequelize, Sequelize.DataTypes);

Variables like __filename and __dirname don’t work anymore with modules.

What do you expect to happen?

There should be an option to choose between Modules or CommonJS.

What is actually happening?

There’s only CommonJS support.

This is my solution for the moment

import { readdirSync } from "fs";
import { basename, dirname } from "path";
import { Sequelize, DataTypes } from "sequelize";
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import database from "../config/database.js";

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

const db = {};
const sequelize = new Sequelize(database.development);

export default (async () => {
  const files = readdirSync(__dirname)
    .filter(
      (file) => file.indexOf('.') !== 0
      && file !== basename(__filename)
      && file.slice(-3) === '.js',
    );

  for await (const file of files) {
    const model = await import(`./${file}`);
    const namedModel = model.default(sequelize, DataTypes);
    db[namedModel.name] = namedModel;
  }

  Object.keys(db).forEach((modelName) => {
    if (db[modelName].associate) {
      db[modelName].associate(db);
    }
  });

  db.sequelize = sequelize;
  db.Sequelize = Sequelize;
	
  return db;
})();
