feat(ESM): convert project from CJS to ESM

[aj-rom]

Convert Project from CJS to ESM

closes #335

This PR includes many file changes and dependency updates.

Some important notes:

• Switched project type to "module".
• Updated node to support ES modules.

ES Lint

• Switched source type for ESLint to module.
• Set ecmaVersion to 2021
• Added ESLint settings for ES modules.

New Rules

• import/no-unresolved: 2
• import/no-commonjs: 2
• import/extensions: [ 2, "ignorePackages" ]
• import/no-named-as-default: "off"
• import/no-named-as-default-member: "off"

Testing

Currently we monkey patch using rewire, which seems to no longer work for ESM. For the time being tests using dependency injections have been commented out.

Example

Dependencies

• Node: 8.9.0 -> 17.1.0
• eslint-plugin-import: ^2.25.3
• @babel/eslint-parser: ^7.16.5

i was actually gonna bug you soon that i think the non-assert way of importing json might work for a bit as long as we keep it to the one file, and i saw a way to do it async but expose them asynchronously

Ah I was assuming we were going to wait for the native support to role out later this year, but I'll re-open for now.

i think i've found decent enough reason to use the workaround that until the native support in, it's definitely workable to use the weird-ish require imports, as long as you're cool rebasing and giving that a go

Oh yeah I could put in some work on this over the weekend.

Awesome. I've spent a bit more time hammering about with esm and got a pretty decent setup with linting on genesis, set up a shared lint config if you wanna try adding it with your esm work, since there's a specific esm config that can always use more definition.

i've got some instructions in WFCD/eslint-config for adding the unified rules, that might help a bit

sorry, @aj-rom, enough got moved around in the 2 years it took to get asserts to even be part of the non-experimental stuff that almost all the files have conflicts, so too much for me to rebase :(
