(static) isMainModule(callerModuleUrl) → {boolean}

Description:

  • Determines whether the calling module is the entry point (directly executed by Node.js).

    This is useful for scripts that can either be run directly via node or imported by other modules. By checking isMainModule(import.meta.url), you can conditionally execute code only when the file is the entry point.

Example
import { isMainModule } from "nsuite";

if (isMainModule(import.meta.url)) {
  // This block runs only when this file is executed directly
  myFunction();
}
Parameters:
Name Type Description
callerModuleUrl string

The import.meta.url of the calling module.

true if the calling module is the Node.js entry point, false otherwise.
