[Replacement]: `source-map-support`

[gameroman]

Package to replace

source-map-support and @cspotcode/source-map-support

Suggested replacement(s)

node --enable-source-maps index.js

NODE_OPTIONS="--enable-source-maps" node index.js

import { findSourceMap } from 'node:module'

const sourceMap = findSourceMap('/path/to/file.js')

import { setSourceMapsSupport } from 'node:module'

setSourceMapsSupport(true, { nodeModules: true, generatedCode: true })

Manifest type

native (replaceable by a built-in platform feature)

Rationale

Node.js has it natively now

Availability

Since Node.js v23.7.0, v22.14.0

[dreyfus92]

can you add the programmatic apis to the suggested replacements? most usage is require('source-map-support').install() / import 'source-map-support/register' from inside the program, and the native equivalent of that is:

process.setSourceMapsEnabled(true)

import { setSourceMapsSupport } from 'node:module'
setSourceMapsSupport(true, { nodeModules: true, generatedCode: true })

findSourceMap is a different thing (returns the parsed map, doesn't touch stack traces), fine to list but it shouldn't sit next to the flag as if it did the same job

gaps worth a line in the entry:

• native skips node_modules by default since 22.14. source-map-support never did. library authors shipping compiled code need nodeModules: true or their consumers' traces won't be mapped
• environment: 'browser' has no native equivalent, this is node only retrieveSourceMap / retrieveFile hooks have no native equivalent

for @cspotcode/source-map-support the entry should say it ships with ts-node and goes away when ts-node does, rather than suggest swapping it manually.
