Support ES module scripts?

I’ve tried writing a silly deploy script as an ES module, now that node has experimental support, but meow doesn’t grok this:

> yarn deploy
yarn run v1.21.0
$ node src/__scripts__/deploy.mjs
(node:5588) ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is experimental.
myproj/node_modules/meow/index.js:15
const parentDir = path.dirname(module.parent.filename);
                                             ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'filename' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (myproj/node_modules/meow/index.js:15:46)

I’m curious of meow really needs to look up the parent module? If it’s part of meow’s magic, is there perhaps a work-around?

In my case, my script is a tiny part of a larger project, and at present I can’t / don’t want to invoke meow on the top-level thing. Instead I’m trying to write a tiny script that only happens to be the directory structure of myproj.

Is meow not a good fit here, or am I just missing something?

Turns out you can actually use this module in ES Modules as it exists, you just need to use some special syntax (createRequire) when importing it as shown in my PR.

Sadly looks like process.main is undefined until meow transitions over so ultimately we will need people to use pkg until then if they are using es modules.
