PR Type
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
What is the current behavior?
NestJS does not officially support ESM. I have a project that successfully uses ESM with a custom fork, but in this Swagger plugin, the only incompatibility I found is that the generated code uses
require
without file extensions.require
could not import ES modules.require
can import ES modules, but missing file extensions continue to cause issues.Issue Number: N/A
What is the new behavior?
This PR adds the appropriate file extension in the generated code based on the input extension (.cts, .mts, or .ts), thereby improving compatibility with ESM.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
Other information
I am a new NestJS user who has integrated it into an existing ESM-based project. Currently, I rely on a monkey-patch workaround, but I would prefer to avoid such hacky solutions. This PR addresses that concern by providing a more robust and maintainable approach.
