es module support? Node 13

[zsolt-dev]

Hi,

First, thank you for maintaining this great library.

I would like to use node 13 without babel.

I have a file index.mjs in which I am trying to do:

import mysql from 'mysql2/promise';

and I am getting this error:

(node:27011) ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is experimental.
internal/modules/esm/default_resolve.js:96
  let url = moduleWrapResolve(specifier, parentURL);
            ^

Error: Cannot find module /Users/zsoltszabo/coding/media-app/node_modules/mysql2/promise imported from /Users/zsoltszabo/coding/media-app/server/db/reset/index.mjs

Any luck with the full path IE import mysql from 'mysql2/promise.js'; ?

I also put "type": "module", in package.json.

@zsolt-dev can you try adding https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_package_exports to package.json? If that works happy to accept pr

@sidorares, I'm currently facing an issue with importing mysql2/promise to ES module/MJS, but it doesn't work. Could you, please, give some hint how to cope with such issue?

Thanks.
