esm: replace --entry-type with --input-type
This is a change discussed and approved by the modules working group per our meeting today on 2019-04-10. We’re hoping that this change can be merged in before the release of Node 12.
Per https://github.com/nodejs/modules/issues/300#issuecomment-477728981, this PR replaces --entry-type
with --input-type
, a flag just like --entry-type
but only for --eval
, --print
and STDIN
.
This way we still provide a way to use ESM in those non-file inputs, but we’re removing the footgun that is --entry-type
in its current form. To use ESM in files, the files need to end in .mjs
or be in a "type": "module"
package scope.
Tests and docs updated.
