CoffeeScript supports import assertions:
import file from "./file.json" assert {type: "json"}
But the spec was replaced by import attributes (i.e. the assert
keyword has been rewritten as with
):
import file from "./file.json" with {type: "json"}
The new spec is currently at stage 3, and recently marked as stable in Node.js.

It would be cool if CoffeeScript supported the new syntax.
The alternative is pretty cumbersome:
import {readFileSync} from "node:fs"
import {join} from "node:path"
file = JSON.parse readFileSync join(import.meta.dirname, "./file.json"), "utf8"
Expected Behavior
No error when using import attributes.
Current Behavior
[...]\src\cli.coffee:4:35: error: reserved word 'with'
import pkg from "../package.json" with {type: "json"}
Environment
- CoffeeScript version: 2.7.0
