Parsing error: Unexpected token import

[Fi1osof]

Origin: microsoft/vscode-eslint#908

const moduleURL = new URL(import.meta.url);

This is valid code for .mjs https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import.meta
But i got eslint error and can not disable this.

• ESLint Version: 6.8.0
• Node Version: 10.19.0
• npm Version: 6.13.4

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using?
Pure node-js

Hi @Fi1osof, thanks for the issue!

import.meta proposal is currently in stage 3. ESLint's default parser will support this syntax if and when it reaches stage 4.

In the meantime, you can use a parser that supports experimental syntax, like babel-eslint.

@mdjermanovic thanks!

import.meta moved to stage 4 on April 1st (the spec proposal still lists it as stage 3 but see tc39/finished-proposals.md and tc39/proposals@0c27379)

Is there extra process for adding support for new syntax or is this something a contributor could help with? Would love to avoid the extra parser dependencies!

Oh, sorry, just found #13133 which has this covered :)
