How do I detect if an ES Module is the main module?

How can I detect if an ECMAScript module is the main module? This is easy for CommonJS modules (see Detect if called through require or directly by command line).

• There is no require or require.main

• No process.mainModule

• The import.meta has no clues, only has url

You could use es-main.

From the package README:

import esMain from 'es-main';
 
if (esMain(import.meta)) {
  // Module run directly.
}

NOTE: This module will only work in a Node.JS environment, because the module code uses native Node.JS modules.
