Runtime Typescript and ESM support for Node.js.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This is the support branch for jiti v1. Check out [jiti/main](https://github.com/unjs/jiti/tree/main) for the latest version and [unjs/jiti#174](https://github.com/unjs/jiti/issues/174) for the roadmap.

## Features

- Seamless typescript and ESM syntax support
- Seamless interoperability between ESM and CommonJS
- Synchronous API to replace `require`
- Super slim and zero dependency
- Smart syntax detection to avoid extra transforms
- CommonJS cache integration
- Filesystem transpile hard cache
- V8 compile cache
- Custom resolve alias

## Usage

### Programmatic

```js
const jiti = require("jiti")(__filename);

jiti("./path/to/file.ts");
```

You can also pass options as second argument:

```js
const jiti = require("jiti")(__filename, { debug: true });
```

### CLI

```bash
jiti index.ts
# or npx jiti index.ts
```

### Register require hook

```bash
node -r jiti/register index.ts
```

Alternatively, you can register `jiti` as a require hook programmatically:

```js
const jiti = require("jiti")();
const unregister = jiti.register();
```

### `esmResolve`

- Type: Boolean | String
- Default: `false`
- Environment Variable: `JITI_ESM_RESOLVE`

Using esm resolution algorithm to support `import` condition.

### `transform`

### `sourceMaps`

- Type: Boolean
- Default `false`
- Environment Variable: `JITI_SOURCE_MAPS`

Add inline source map to transformed source for better debugging.

### `interopDefault`

- Type: Boolean
- Default: `false`

Return the `.default` export of a module at the top-level.

### `alias`

- Type: Object
- Default: -
- Environment Variable: `JITI_ALIAS`

### `nativeModules`

- Type: Array
- Default: ['typescript`]
- Environment Variable: `JITI_NATIVE_MODULES`

List of modules (within `node_modules`) to always use native require for them.

### `transformModules`

- Type: Array
- Default: []
- Environment Variable: `JITI_TRANSFORM_MODULES`

List of modules (within `node_modules`) to transform them regardless of syntax.

### `experimentalBun`

- Type: Boolean
- Default: Enabled if `process.versions.bun` exists (Bun runtime)
- Environment Variable: `JITI_EXPERIMENTAL_BUN`

Enable experimental native Bun support for transformations.
