[bug] URL is not a constructor

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Bug with WHATWG URL API provided by native url module.

What is the current behavior?

// ES6

import { URL } from 'url';

console.log(typeof URL); // undefined

// CommonJS

const { URL } = require('url');

console.log(typeof URL); // undefined

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
I provided code above, is it a normal behavior and we should use Web API URL or WHATWG URL API should be provided through url module?

What is the expected behavior?

// ES6 modules

import { URL } from 'url';

console.log(typeof URL); // function

// CommonJS modules

const { URL } = require('url');

console.log(typeof URL); // function

Please mention your webpack and Operating System version.

node 8.2.1
webpack 3.3.0

@webpack-bot move to defunctzombie/node-url

node-url exports it as exports.Url instead of exports.URL

[webpack-bot]

I've moved it to defunctzombie/node-url.

@sokra node-url does not support new API at all, last update was 3 years ago, can we replace this deprecated module with a new one?

Sure if you have one. See webpack/node-libs-browser.
