why set 'sourceType' to `module`? about eslint-config-standard

[feross]

We set the sourceType to 'module' so the parser can parse JS files that are modules. Fortunately, with this option set parsing normal files works just fine. Feel free to override for your own use case.

This settings breaks the use strict rule :(

My commonJS file is not a module, it's a script. Standardx does not overwrite it either -.-

Actually, the strict mode is automatically enabled in module files.
That's why the "use strict" line is too much.

@Raynos could you provide an example, please?

[Raynos]

Never mind, i figured out a typo in my package.json -.-

You can use standardx to overwrite the moduleType: "script"

So it can be worked around.

However https://eslint.org/docs/rules/strict says that a "ES module using import/export" must not have 'use strict'; and a commonJS module must have 'use strict'

Because standard globally opts into moduleType: "module" for code that is not an ES module using import/export but is actually a commonJS file the strict rule does not behave as you would expect.

I don't think there's a good fix other then for something like .mjs / .cjs / read package.json module type with node ESM.

For babel faux modules code its just 😞
