ESM module support

[appy-one]

AceBase will be supporting ESM modules in addition to the current CommonJS distributions. To make this happen, all packages will be ported to TypeScript. This will greatly increase the code quality and reliability, and will allow transpiling to multiple distributions to allow usage of ESM modules in all packages. As this is a time consuming process, your patience is really appreciated.

The table below contains the current support for ESM, I'll keep this updated.

• acebase-core: fully supported from v1.25.0, uses ESM build for import statements! Older versions from v1.15.0 up to 1.24.x use the CommonJS distribution for both require and import statements to prevent the so-called "Dual package hazard" on older acebase packages that depend on acebase-core. Please upgrade all your AceBase dependencies!

• acebase: supported from v1.27.0

• acebase-client: Supported from v1.18.1

• acebase-server: Supported from v1.10.0

• acebase-ipc-server: not supported yet

If you like AceBase, please consider sponsoring me. Your support helps me to pay the bills and move the project further.

Update: acebase-client now also has CommonJS and ESM module builds!

Update: all packages (except acebase-ipc-server) now have ESM and CommonJS module builds, so I enabled usage of the ESM build for imports of acebase-core! 🥳
