# Maintaining merve
|
|
|
|
The [merve](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/HEAD/deps/merve)
|
|
dependency is used within the Node.js ESM implementation to detect the
|
|
named exports of a CommonJS module.
|
|
|
|
It is used within
|
|
[`node:internal/modules/esm/translators`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/HEAD/lib/internal/modules/esm/translators.js)
|
|
where it is exposed via an internal binding.
|
|
|
|
## Updating merve
|
|
|
|
The `tools/dep_updaters/update-merve.sh` script automates the update of the
|
|
merve dependency. It fetches the latest release from GitHub and updates the
|
|
files in the `deps/merve` directory.
|
|
|
|
To update merve manually:
|
|
|
|
* Check the [merve releases][] for a new version.
|
|
* Download the latest single-header release.
|
|
* Replace the files in `deps/merve` (preserving `merve.gyp`).
|
|
* Update the link to merve in the list at the end of
|
|
[doc/api/esm.md](../../api/esm.md)
|
|
to point to the updated version.
|
|
* Create a PR adding the files in the deps/merve that were modified.
|
|
|
|
If updates are needed to merve for Node.js, first PR those updates into
|
|
[anonrig/merve][],
|
|
request a release and then pull in the updated version once available.
