How to use

Not supported in Edge, Safari, Safari iOS. Use feature detection below and provide a fallback (or a polyfill) for those browsers.

Example

Full syntax and examples are on MDN: with#text modules type text.

Feature detection

JS · check before using
// Syntax can't be tested with an if-statement — an unsupported
// browser fails to parse the whole script. Either transpile for older
// targets (e.g. Babel/TypeScript/esbuild), or probe in isolation:
let supported = true;
try {
  new Function("/* code that uses the syntax */");
} catch {
  supported = false;
}

This is a language syntax feature.
