How to force webpack to use "node:" prefixes?

[krutoo]

Hi, im trying to build node app and i need to tell webpack to use node: specifiers in its internal code.

For example in result file i see:

import { createRequire as __WEBPACK_EXTERNAL_createRequire } from "module";

I want to change such specifiers from "module" to "node:module".

How can i do this?

Hi, we don't have options for this, why do you need it? Both work fine with Node.js

@alexander-akait I am trying to bundle application for run in Deno =)

(I apologize for the incorrect description)

Got it, we need to implement nodePrefixForCoreModules here https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/main/lib/config/browserslistTargetHandler.js#L336, put version there, than implement supportsModePrefixForCoreModules() {} in RuntimeTemplate.js and use it everywhere we generate external exports for core modules, do you want to send a PR, if yes - feel free to do it, if no - feel free to open an issue, I will try to implement it tomorrow (easy task)

So we will use them when Node.js support it (if you set for example target: "node18") or you set output.environment.nodePrefixForCoreModules: true
