Fix relative imports

This patch will fix the relative imports in your application code and make them compatible with ESM.

npx @adonisjs/upgrade-kit@latest fix-relative-imports

pnpm dlx @adonisjs/upgrade-kit@latest fix-relative-imports

Since, AdonisJS applications are written in TypeScript, which uses the import/export syntax while authoring the code, you are somewhat protected when it comes to the number of breaking changes while moving from CommonJS to ESM.

For example, you do not have to remove module.exports, require method calls.

However, you will have to rewrite the relative imports to match the following rules.

• All imports must specify the file extension. For example: Instead of writing import User from './user', you will have to write import User from './user.js'.

• Even for TypeScript files, the file extension has to be .js.

• Only exception to the above rule is when importing a file with a subpath pattern we defined through the upgrade-aliases patch. For example, `import User from '#models/user' is valid.

• Index files are no longer imported by specifying the directory name. For example:

  Copy code to clipboard

  // ✅ Right way to import index.js file in ESM
  import InvoiceService from './services/invoice/index.js'
  
  // ❌ Works with CJS, but not ESM
  import InvoiceService from './services/invoice'
  

This patch will fix the relative imports in your application code and make them compatible with ESM. As with previous patches, this patch will NOT update dynamic imports.
