# Bitwarden Directory Connector
# Bitwarden Directory Connector - Claude Code Configuration
## Project Overview
Sync users and groups from enterprise directory services (LDAP, Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, OneLogin) to Bitwarden organizations. Available as both a desktop GUI (Electron + Angular) and a CLI tool (`bwdc`).
Directory Connector is a TypeScript application that synchronizes users and groups from directory services to Bitwarden organizations. It provides both a desktop GUI (built with Angular and Electron) and a CLI tool (bwdc).
## Overview
**Supported Directory Services:**
### What This Project Does
- LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) - includes Active Directory and general LDAP servers
- Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
- Google Workspace
- Okta
- OneLogin
- Connects to enterprise identity providers and retrieves user/group membership data
- Syncs that data to Bitwarden organizations via the Directory Connector API
- Provides both a desktop GUI application (Electron) and a command-line interface (`bwdc`)
**Technologies:**
### Key Concepts
- TypeScript
- Angular (GUI)
- Electron (Desktop wrapper)
- Node
- Jest for testing
- **Directory Service**: An identity provider (LDAP, Entra ID, GSuite, Okta, OneLogin) that stores users and groups
- **Sync**: The process of fetching entries from a directory and importing them to Bitwarden
- **Delta Sync**: Incremental synchronization that only fetches changes since the last sync
- **Entry**: Base class for `UserEntry` and `GroupEntry` - the core data models
- **Force Sync**: Ignores delta tokens and fetches all entries fresh
- **Test Mode**: Simulates sync without making API calls or updating state

### Key Architectural Patterns
1. **Abstractions = Interfaces**: All interfaces are defined in `/abstractions`
2. **Services = Business Logic**: Implementations live in `/services`
3. **Directory Service Pattern**: Each directory provider implements `IDirectoryService` interface
4. **Separation of Concerns**: GUI (Angular app) and CLI (commands) share the same service layer
## Development Conventions
### Code Organization
**File Naming:**
```
src/
├── abstractions/ # Interface definitions (IDirectoryService, etc.)
├── app/ # Angular GUI components
│ ├── tabs/ # Tab-based navigation (Dashboard, Settings, More)
│ └── services/ # Angular service providers
├── commands/ # CLI command implementations
├── enums/ # TypeScript enums (DirectoryType, etc.)
├── models/ # Data models (Entry, UserEntry, GroupEntry)
├── services/ # Business logic implementations

- kebab-case for files: `ldap-directory.service.ts`
- Descriptive names that reflect purpose
jslib/ # Legacy shared libraries (do not add new code here)
utils/ # Integration test fixtures
└── openldap/ # Docker configs, test data, certificates
```
**Class/Function Naming:**
### Key Principles
- PascalCase for classes and interfaces
- camelCase for functions and variables
- Descriptive names that indicate purpose
1. **Shared Service Layer**: GUI (Angular) and CLI share identical service implementations
2. **Factory Pattern**: `DirectoryFactoryService` instantiates the correct `IDirectoryService` based on `DirectoryType`
3. **Secure Storage**: Credentials stored in system keychain via `KeytarSecureStorageService`
4. **Delta Tracking**: Incremental sync via delta tokens to minimize API calls
**File Structure:**
### Core Patterns
- Keep files focused on single responsibility
- Create new service files for distinct directory integrations
- Separate models into individual files when complex
#### Directory Service Pattern
### TypeScript Conventions
**Purpose**: Abstract different identity providers behind a common interface
**Import Patterns:**
**Interface** (`src/abstractions/directory.service.ts`):
- Use path aliases (`@/`) for project imports
- `@/` - project root
- `@/jslib/` - jslib folder
- ESLint enforces alphabetized import ordering with newlines between groups
```typescript
export interface IDirectoryService {
getEntries(force: boolean, test: boolean): Promise<[GroupEntry[], UserEntry[]]>;
}
```
**Type Safety:**
**Implementations** in `src/services/directory-services/`:
- Avoid `any` types - use proper typing or `unknown` with type guards
- Prefer interfaces for contracts, types for unions/intersections
- Use strict null checks - handle `null` and `undefined` explicitly
- Leverage TypeScript's type inference where appropriate
- `ldap-directory.service.ts` - LDAP/Active Directory
- `entra-id-directory.service.ts` - Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
- `gsuite-directory.service.ts` - Google Workspace
- `okta-directory.service.ts` - Okta
- `onelogin-directory.service.ts` - OneLogin
**Configuration:**
**Factory** (`src/services/directory-factory.service.ts`):
- Use configuration files or environment variables
- Never hardcode URLs or configuration values
```typescript
createService(type: DirectoryType): IDirectoryService
```
## Security Best Practices
#### State Service Pattern
**Credential Handling:**
**Purpose**: Manage persistent state and credential storage
- Never log directory service credentials, API keys, or tokens
- Use secure storage mechanisms for sensitive data
- Credentials should never be hardcoded
- Store credentials encrypted, never in plain text
**Implementation** (`src/services/state.service.ts`):
**Sensitive Data:**
- Configuration and sync settings stored in LowDB (JSON file)
- Sensitive data (passwords, API keys) stored in system keychain
- File locking via `proper-lockfile` to prevent concurrent access corruption
- Platform-specific app data directories:
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Bitwarden Directory Connector`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%/Bitwarden Directory Connector`
- Linux: `~/.config/Bitwarden Directory Connector` or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`
- User and group data from directories should be handled securely
- Avoid exposing sensitive information in error messages
- Sanitize data before logging
- Be cautious with data persistence
---
**Input Validation:**
## Development Guide
- Validate and sanitize data from external directory services
- Check for injection vulnerabilities (LDAP injection, etc.)
- Validate configuration inputs from users
### Adding a New Directory Service
**API Security:**
**1. Create the enum value** (`src/enums/directoryType.ts`)
- Ensure authentication flows are implemented correctly
- Verify SSL/TLS is used for all external connections
- Check for secure token storage and refresh mechanisms
```typescript
export enum DirectoryType {
Ldap = 0,
EntraID = 1,
GSuite = 2,
Okta = 3,
OneLogin = 4,
NewProvider = 5, // Add here
}
```
## Error Handling
**2. Create the configuration model** (`src/models/newProviderConfiguration.ts`)
**Best Practices:**
```typescript
export class NewProviderConfiguration {
apiUrl: string;
apiToken: string;
// Provider-specific settings
}
```
1. **Try-catch for async operations** - Always wrap external API calls
2. **Meaningful error messages** - Provide context for debugging
3. **Error propagation** - Don't swallow errors silently
4. **User-facing errors** - Separate user messages from developer logs
**3. Implement the directory service** (`src/services/directory-services/newprovider-directory.service.ts`)
## Performance Best Practices
```typescript
import { IDirectoryService } from "@/src/abstractions/directory.service";
import { GroupEntry } from "@/src/models/groupEntry";
import { UserEntry } from "@/src/models/userEntry";
import { BaseDirectoryService } from "./base-directory.service";
**Large Dataset Handling:**
export class NewProviderDirectoryService extends BaseDirectoryService implements IDirectoryService {
constructor(
private logService: LogService,
private i18nService: I18nService,
private stateService: StateService,
) {
super();
}
- Use pagination for large user/group lists
- Avoid loading entire datasets into memory at once
- Consider streaming or batch processing for large operations
async getEntries(force: boolean, test: boolean): Promise<[GroupEntry[], UserEntry[]]> {
const config = await this.stateService.getDirectory<NewProviderConfiguration>(
DirectoryType.NewProvider,
);
const syncConfig = await this.stateService.getSync();
**API Rate Limiting:**
const groups: GroupEntry[] = [];
const users: UserEntry[] = [];
- Respect rate limits for Microsoft Graph API, Google Admin SDK, etc.
- Consider batching large API calls where necessary
// Fetch from provider API
// Apply filters using inherited filter methods
**Memory Management:**
return [groups, users];
}
}
```
- Close connections and clean up resources
- Remove event listeners when components are destroyed
- Be cautious with caching large datasets
**4. Register in the factory** (`src/services/directory-factory.service.ts`)
```typescript
case DirectoryType.NewProvider:
return new NewProviderDirectoryService(
this.logService,
this.i18nService,
this.stateService
);
```
**5. Add state service support** (`src/services/state.service.ts`)
```typescript
// Add to secure storage keys if credentials involved
// Add configuration getter/setter methods
```
**6. Write tests** (`src/services/directory-services/newprovider-directory.service.spec.ts`)
### Common Patterns
#### Error Handling with State Rollback
```typescript
async sync(force: boolean, test: boolean): Promise<[GroupEntry[], UserEntry[]]> {
// Store initial state for rollback
const startingUserDelta = await this.stateService.getUserDelta();
const startingGroupDelta = await this.stateService.getGroupDelta();
try {
// Perform sync operations
const [groups, users] = await this.directoryService.getEntries(force, test);
// ... process and submit
return [groups, users];
} catch (e) {
if (!test) {
// Rollback deltas on failure
await this.stateService.setUserDelta(startingUserDelta);
await this.stateService.setGroupDelta(startingGroupDelta);
}
this.messagingService.send("dirSyncCompleted", { successfully: false });
throw e;
}
}
```
#### Filter Processing
```typescript
// In BaseDirectoryService
protected buildIncludeSet(filter: string): Set<string> {
// Parse filter like "include:user1@example.com,user2@example.com"
}
protected buildExcludeSet(filter: string): Set<string> {
// Parse filter like "exclude:user1@example.com"
}
protected shouldIncludeUser(user: UserEntry, include: Set<string>, exclude: Set<string>): boolean {
if (exclude.has(user.email)) return false;
if (include.size === 0) return true;
return include.has(user.email);
}
```
### Running the Desktop GUI (Development)
```bash
npm install
npm run rebuild # Rebuild native modules (keytar)
npm run electron # Run GUI with hot reload
```
### Running the CLI (Development)
```bash
npm install
npm run build:cli:watch # Build CLI with watch mode
node ./build-cli/bwdc.js --help # Run CLI commands
```
---
## Data Models
### Core Types
```typescript
// Base entry class (src/models/entry.ts)
abstract class Entry {
referenceId: string; // Unique ID within the directory (e.g., DN for LDAP)
externalId: string; // ID used for Bitwarden import
}
// User entry (src/models/userEntry.ts)
class UserEntry extends Entry {
email: string;
disabled: boolean;
deleted: boolean;
}
// Group entry (src/models/groupEntry.ts)
class GroupEntry extends Entry {
name: string;
userMemberExternalIds: Set<string>; // External IDs of member users
groupMemberReferenceIds: Set<string>; // Reference IDs of nested groups
users: UserEntry[]; // Populated for display/simulation
}
```
### Directory Type Enum
```typescript
// src/enums/directoryType.ts
enum DirectoryType {
Ldap = 0,
EntraID = 1,
GSuite = 2,
Okta = 3,
OneLogin = 4,
}
```
### Configuration Models
Each directory provider has a configuration class in `src/models/`:
- `LdapConfiguration` - hostname, port, SSL/TLS, bind credentials, auth mode
- `EntraIdConfiguration` - tenant, client ID, secret key
- `GSuiteConfiguration` - domain, admin user, client email, private key
- `OktaConfiguration` - organization URL, API token
- `OneLoginConfiguration` - client ID, client secret, region
### Sync Configuration
```typescript
// src/models/syncConfiguration.ts
interface SyncConfiguration {
users: boolean; // Sync users
groups: boolean; // Sync groups
interval: number; // Minutes between syncs (minimum 5)
userFilter: string; // Include/exclude filter
groupFilter: string; // Include/exclude filter
removeDisabled: boolean; // Remove disabled users from org
overwriteExisting: boolean; // Overwrite existing entries
largeImport: boolean; // Enable for >2000 entries
// LDAP-specific
groupObjectClass: string;
userObjectClass: string;
groupPath: string;
userPath: string;
// ... additional LDAP attributes
}
```
---
## Security & Configuration
### Security Rules
**MANDATORY - These rules have no exceptions:**
1. **Never log credentials**: API keys, passwords, tokens, and secrets must never appear in logs
2. **Never hardcode secrets**: All URLs, credentials, and sensitive data must come from configuration
3. **Use KeytarSecureStorageService**: All credentials must be stored in the system keychain
4. **Validate external data**: Sanitize all data received from directory services
5. **LDAP injection prevention**: Be cautious with user-provided LDAP filters
### Secure Storage Keys
The following are stored in the system keychain (not plain JSON):
- `ldapPassword` - LDAP bind password
- `gsuitePrivateKey` - Google Workspace private key
- `entraKey` - Microsoft Entra ID client secret
- `oktaToken` - Okta API token
- `oneLoginClientSecret` - OneLogin client secret
- User/group delta tokens
- Sync hashes
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description | Example |
| ------------------------------------------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| `BITWARDENCLI_CONNECTOR_APPDATA_DIR` | No | CLI app data directory override | `/custom/path` |
| `BITWARDEN_CONNECTOR_APPDATA_DIR` | No | GUI app data directory override | `/custom/path` |
| `BITWARDENCLI_CONNECTOR_PLAINTEXT_SECRETS` | No | Store secrets in plain text (debug only) | `true` |
| `BITWARDENCLI_CONNECTOR_DEBUG` | No | Enable debug logging | `true` |
| `BW_CLIENTID` | No | CLI login client ID | `organization.xxxxx` |
| `BW_CLIENTSECRET` | No | CLI login client secret | `xxxxx` |
| `BW_NOINTERACTION` | No | Disable interactive prompts | `true` |
| `BW_PRETTY` | No | Pretty-print JSON output | `true` |
| `BW_RAW` | No | Raw output (no formatting) | `true` |
| `BW_RESPONSE` | No | JSON response format | `true` |
| `BW_QUIET` | No | Suppress stdout | `true` |
### Authentication & Authorization
- **API Token Authentication**: Uses organization `clientId` + `clientSecret`
- **Token Storage**: Access tokens and refresh tokens stored securely via Keytar
- **Token Refresh**: Automatic refresh when access token expires
- **Auth Service**: `src/services/auth.service.ts` handles the authentication flow
---
## Testing
**Framework:**
### Test Structure
- Jest with jest-preset-angular
- jest-mock-extended for type-safe mocks with `mock<Type>()`
```
src/
├── services/
│ ├── sync.service.spec.ts # Unit tests (colocated)
│ ├── sync.service.integration.spec.ts # Integration tests
│ └── directory-services/
│ ├── ldap-directory.service.spec.ts
│ └── ldap-directory.service.integration.spec.ts

└── openldap/
├── config-fixtures.ts # Test configuration helpers
├── user-fixtures.ts # Expected user data
├── group-fixtures.ts # Expected group data
├── certs/ # TLS certificates
└── docker-compose.yml # LDAP container config
```
**Test Organization:**
### Writing Tests
- Tests colocated with source files
- `*.spec.ts` - Unit tests for individual components/services
- `*.integration.spec.ts` - Integration tests against live directory services
- Test helpers located in `utils/` directory
**Unit Test Template**:
**Test Naming:**
```typescript
import { mock, MockProxy } from "jest-mock-extended";
- Descriptive, human-readable test names
- Example: `'should return empty array when no users exist in directory'`
describe("ServiceName", () => {
let logService: MockProxy<LogService>;
let stateService: MockProxy<StateService>;
let service: ServiceUnderTest;
**Test Coverage:**
beforeEach(() => {
logService = mock();
stateService = mock();
service = new ServiceUnderTest(logService, stateService);
});
- New features must include tests
- Bug fixes should include regression tests
- Changes to core sync logic or directory specific logic require integration tests
it("should do something", async () => {
// Arrange
stateService.getSomeValue.mockResolvedValue(expectedValue);
**Testing Approach:**
// Act
const result = await service.doSomething();
- **Unit tests**: Mock external API calls using jest-mock-extended
- **Integration tests**: Use live directory services (Docker containers or configured cloud services)
- Focus on critical paths (authentication, sync, data transformation)
- Test error scenarios and edge cases (empty results, malformed data, connection failures), not just happy paths
// Assert
expect(result).toEqual(expectedResult);
});
});
```
## Directory Service Patterns
**Integration Test Template** (see `ldap-directory.service.integration.spec.ts`):
### IDirectoryService Interface
```typescript
// Requires Docker containers running
// npm run test:integration:setup
All directory services implement this core interface with methods:
describe("ldapDirectoryService", () => {
let stateService: MockProxy<StateService>;
let directoryService: LdapDirectoryService;
- `getUsers()` - Retrieve users from directory and transform them into standard objects
- `getGroups()` - Retrieve groups from directory and transform them into standard objects
- Connection and authentication handling
beforeEach(() => {
stateService = mock();
stateService.getDirectoryType.mockResolvedValue(DirectoryType.Ldap);
stateService.getDirectory
.calledWith(DirectoryType.Ldap)
.mockResolvedValue(getLdapConfiguration());
});
### Service-Specific Implementations
it("syncs users and groups", async () => {
const result = await directoryService.getEntries(true, true);
expect(result).toEqual([groupFixtures, userFixtures]);
});
});
```
Each directory service has unique authentication and query patterns:
### Running Tests
- **LDAP**: Direct LDAP queries, bind authentication
- **Microsoft Entra ID**: Microsoft Graph API, OAuth tokens
- **Google Workspace**: Google Admin SDK, service account credentials
- **Okta/OneLogin**: REST APIs with API tokens
```bash
npm test # All unit tests (excludes integration)
npm test -- path/to/file.spec.ts # Single test file
npm run test:watch # Watch mode
# Integration tests
npm run test:integration:setup # Start Docker containers
npm run test:integration # Run integration tests
npm run test:integration:watch # Watch mode for integration
```
### Test Environment
- **Mocking**: `jest-mock-extended` with `mock<Type>()` for type-safe mocks
- **Alternative**: `@fluffy-spoon/substitute` available for some tests
- **Integration**: Docker containers for LDAP (OpenLDAP)
- **Fixtures**: Located in `utils/openldap/`
---
## Code Style & Standards
### Formatting
- **Prettier**: Auto-formatting enforced via pre-commit hooks
- **Config**: `.prettierrc` in project root
### Naming Conventions
- `camelCase` for: variables, functions, method names
- `PascalCase` for: classes, interfaces, types, enums
- `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` for: constants (rare in this codebase)
### Imports
**Path Aliases:**
- `@/` maps to project root
- Example: `import { SyncService } from "@/src/services/sync.service"`
**Import Order (ESLint enforced):**
1. External packages (node_modules)
2. jslib imports (`@/jslib/...`)
3. Project imports (`@/src/...`)
4. Alphabetized within each group with newlines between groups
```typescript
// External
import { mock, MockProxy } from "jest-mock-extended";
// jslib
import { LogService } from "@/jslib/common/src/abstractions/log.service";
// Project
import { DirectoryType } from "@/src/enums/directoryType";
import { SyncService } from "@/src/services/sync.service";
```
### Comments
- Avoid unnecessary comments; code should be self-documenting
- Use JSDoc only for public APIs that need documentation
- Inline comments for complex logic only
### Pre-commit Hooks
- **Husky**: Runs `lint-staged` on commit
- **lint-staged**: Runs Prettier on all files, ESLint on TypeScript files
```bash
npm run lint # Check ESLint + Prettier
npm run lint:fix # Auto-fix ESLint issues
npm run prettier # Auto-format with Prettier
npm run test:types # TypeScript type checking
```
---
## Anti-Patterns
### DO
- ✅ Use `KeytarSecureStorageService` for all credential storage
- ✅ Implement `IDirectoryService` interface for new directory providers
- ✅ Use the factory pattern via `DirectoryFactoryService`
- ✅ Write unit tests with `jest-mock-extended` mocks
- ✅ Handle errors with state rollback (delta tokens)
- ✅ Use path aliases (`@/src/...`) for imports
- ✅ Validate data from external directory services
- ✅ Use `force` and `test` parameters consistently in sync methods
### DON'T
- ❌ Log credentials, API keys, or tokens
- ❌ Hardcode URLs, secrets, or configuration values
- ❌ Store sensitive data in LowDB (JSON) - use Keytar
- ❌ Skip input validation for LDAP filters (injection risk)
- ❌ Use `any` types without explicit justification
- ❌ Add new code to `jslib/` (legacy, read-only)
- ❌ Ignore delta token rollback on sync failure
- ❌ Bypass `overwriteExisting` validation for batch imports (>2000 entries)
---
## Deployment
### Building
**Desktop GUI (Electron):**
```bash
npm run build # Build main + renderer
npm run build:dist # Full distribution build
npm run dist:win # Windows installer
npm run dist:mac # macOS installer
npm run dist:lin # Linux packages (AppImage, RPM)
```
**CLI Tool:**
```bash
npm run build:cli:prod # Production build
npm run dist:cli:win # Windows executable
npm run dist:cli:mac # macOS executable
npm run dist:cli:lin # Linux executable
```
### Versioning
Follow semantic versioning: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
- Version format: `YYYY.MM.PATCH` (e.g., `2025.12.0`)
- Managed in `package.json`
### Publishing
- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions workflows in `.github/workflows/`
- **build.yml**: Multi-platform builds with code signing
- **release.yml**: Version bumping and publishing
- **Code Signing**: Azure Key Vault (Windows), App Store Connect (macOS)
- **Auto-update**: Electron Updater for GUI application
---
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### LDAP Connection Failures
**Problem**: Cannot connect to LDAP server, timeout or connection refused
**Solution**:
1. Verify hostname and port are correct
2. Check SSL/TLS settings match server configuration
3. For StartTLS, ensure SSL is enabled and use the non-secure port (389)
4. For LDAPS, use port 636 and provide CA certificate path
#### Keytar/Native Module Issues
**Problem**: `Error: Module did not self-register` or keytar-related crashes
**Solution**:
```bash
npm run rebuild # Rebuild native modules for current Electron version
npm run reset # Full reset of keytar module
```
#### Sync Hash Mismatch
**Problem**: Sync runs but no changes appear in Bitwarden
**Solution**: The sync service skips if the hash matches the previous sync. Use force sync:
```bash
bwdc sync --force # CLI
# Or clear cache
bwdc clear-cache
```
#### Large Import Failures
**Problem**: Sync fails for organizations with >2000 users/groups
**Solution**: Enable `largeImport` in sync settings. Note: `overwriteExisting` is incompatible with batch mode.
### Debug Tips
- Enable debug logging: `BITWARDENCLI_CONNECTOR_DEBUG=true`
- View data file location: `bwdc data-file`
- Test sync without making changes: `bwdc test`
- Check last sync times: `bwdc last-sync users` / `bwdc last-sync groups`

# ESM Migration Plan
## Migration Status: Partial Success
The ESM migration has been **partially completed**. The source code is now ESM-compatible with `"type": "module"` in package.json, and webpack outputs CommonJS bundles (`.cjs`) for Node.js compatibility.
### What Works
- ✅ CLI build (`bwdc.cjs`) - builds and runs successfully
- ✅ Electron main process (`main.cjs`) - builds successfully
- ✅ All 130 tests pass
- ✅ Source code uses ESM syntax (import/export)
### What Doesn't Work
- ❌ Electron renderer build - **pre-existing type errors in jslib** (not caused by this migration)
The renderer build was failing with 37 TypeScript errors in `jslib/` **before** the ESM migration began. These are ArrayBuffer/SharedArrayBuffer type compatibility issues in the jslib submodule that need to be addressed separately.

### 3. Webpack Configurations
**CLI (webpack.cli.cjs)**
- Output changed to `.cjs` extension
- Added `transpileOnly: true` to ts-loader for faster builds
**Main (webpack.main.cjs)**
- Output changed to `.cjs` extension
- Added `transpileOnly: true` to ts-loader
**Renderer (webpack.renderer.cjs)**
- Created separate `tsconfig.renderer.json` to isolate Angular compilation
- Removed ESM output experiments (not compatible with Angular's webpack plugin)
### 4. src-cli/package.json
```json
{
"type": "module",
"bin": {
"bwdc": "../build-cli/bwdc.cjs"
}
}
```
### 5. New File: tsconfig.renderer.json
Dedicated TypeScript config for Angular renderer to isolate from jslib type issues.
---
## Architecture Decision
### Why CJS Output Instead of ESM Output?
The migration uses a **hybrid approach**:
- **Source code**: ESM syntax (`import`/`export`)
- **Build output**: CommonJS (`.cjs` files)
This approach was chosen because:
1. **lowdb v1 incompatibility**: The legacy lowdb v1 used in jslib doesn't work properly with ESM output due to lodash interop issues
2. **Native module compatibility**: keytar and other native modules work better with CJS
3. **Electron compatibility**: Electron's main process ESM support is still maturing
4. **jslib constraints**: The jslib submodule is read-only and contains CJS-only patterns
The webpack bundler transpiles ESM source to CJS output, giving us modern syntax in the codebase while maintaining runtime compatibility.
---
## Blocking Issues for Full ESM
### 1. jslib Submodule (Read-Only)
The jslib folder contains:
- `lowdb` v1.0.0 usage (CJS-only, v7 is ESM but has breaking API changes)
- `node-fetch` v2.7.0 usage (CJS-only, v3 is ESM-only)
- Pre-existing TypeScript errors (ArrayBuffer type mismatches)
### 2. Angular Webpack Plugin
The `@ngtools/webpack` plugin does its own TypeScript compilation and doesn't support `transpileOnly` mode, so it surfaces type errors from jslib.
---
## Future Work
To complete full ESM migration:
1. **Update jslib submodule** - Fix type errors, upgrade to ESM-compatible dependencies
2. **Upgrade lowdb** - From v1 to v7 (requires rewriting storage layer)
3. **Remove node-fetch** - Use native `fetch` (Node 18+) or upgrade to v3
4. **Enable ESM output** - Once dependencies are updated, change webpack output to ESM
---
## Testing the Migration
```bash
# Build CLI
npm run build:cli
node ./build-cli/bwdc.cjs --help
# Build Electron main
npm run build:main
# Run tests
npm test
```
