Expose `importMetaResolve(url, baseURL)` from `node:module`, and stabilize it

What is the problem this feature will solve?

In Node.js based tools it's common to need to "resolve url X as if it were imported from module Y".

Node.js does not expose this as an API, even though it implements it. It only exposes "resolve url X as if it were imported from this current module", through import.meta.resolve.

https://github.com/wooorm/import-meta-resolve is, for example, a library that is basically code copy&pasted from this repository and published on npm. The annoying part is that, as Node.js resolution rules change, libraries need to change too, and you need to basically check which version of Node.js you are on to know which rules to apply.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Node.js does have a solution to this: the version of import.meta.resolve that takes two arguments, gated behind a flag (--experimental-import-meta-resolve). The reason it's behind a flag is because it would be different from the import.meta.resolve implementation of browsers, that takes only one argument.

It'd be great if Node.js could expose the two-args version as an export of node:module, something like

import { resolveModuleURL } from "node:module"`;

resolveModuleURL(url, parent);

with resolveModuleURL(url, import.meta.url) being equivalent to import.meta.resolve(url).

What alternatives have you considered?

This is related to https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/55756, which implements a more complex/comprehensive API.

Inizia leggendo l’implementazione esistente di import.meta.resolve in Node.js e il comportamento alla base di --experimental-import-meta-resolve. Confronta l’esportazione node:module proposta con l’API più completa nel pull request #55756. Il lavoro è completo quando il resolver a due argomenti è esposto come API stabile con un comportamento equivalente al caso d’uso richiesto.
