ESM module

[danchitnis]

Hello, and thanks for the excellent work. Are there any plans to migrate the openmoji's npm module to ESM? It seems it is still using old style commonJS and require.

I'm afraid this is currently not planned. We simply don't have the resources to keep everything up to date. It is already tough to keep up with the emojis. Sorry!

If you keep this issue open, I will see if I can help add the ESM part.

That would be brilliant! Any help is very welcome. But be warned this is a lot to refactor, see scripts in folder /helpers/ :)

I will run a small-scale test, then, if it works, I will work on a PR. Joining esm with the existing code is a challenge because of all the npm and JS shenanigans, but let's take it step by step!

Hi @danchitnis, I'm a front-end dev with some experience in vitest if testing is needed,but I haven´t done anything similar to porting a project to EcmaScript Modules.

Feel free to get in touch if you need a hand with this, I'm willing to learn about migration to ESM.
