Migrate codebase from CommonJS to ES Modules
...
- Convert all require()/module.exports to import/export across 260+ files
- Add "type": "module" to package.json to enable ESM by default
- Add migrations/package.json with "type": "commonjs" to keep db-migrate compatible
- Convert eslint.config.js to ESM with sourceType: "module"
- Replace __dirname/__filename with import.meta.dirname/import.meta.filename
- Replace require.main === module with process.argv[1] === import.meta.filename
- Remove 'use strict' directives (implicit in ESM)
- Convert dynamic require() in switch statements to static import lookup maps
(dns.js, domains.js, backupformats.js, backupsites.js, network.js)
- Extract self-referencing exports.CONSTANT patterns into standalone const
declarations (apps.js, services.js, locks.js, users.js, mail.js, etc.)
- Lazify SERVICES object in services.js to avoid circular dependency TDZ issues
- Add clearMailQueue() to mailer.js for ESM-safe queue clearing in tests
- Add _setMockApp() to ldapserver.js for ESM-safe test mocking
- Add _setMockResolve() wrapper to dig.js for ESM-safe DNS mocking in tests
- Convert backupupload.js to use dynamic imports so --check exits before
loading the module graph (which requires BOX_ENV)
- Update check-install to use ESM import for infra_version.js
- Convert scripts/ (hotfix, release, remote_hotfix.js, find-unused-translations)
- All 1315 tests passing
Migration stats (AI-assisted using Cursor with Claude):
- Wall clock time: ~3-4 hours
- Assistant completions: ~80-100
- Estimated token usage: ~1-2M tokens
