> Stability: 1 - Experimental
This feature is only available with the `--experimental-import-meta-resolve`
command flag enabled.
* `specifier` {string} The module specifier to resolve relative to `parent`.
* `parent` {string|URL} The absolute parent module URL to resolve from. If none
is specified, the value of `import.meta.url` is used as the default.
* Returns: {string}
Provides a module-relative resolution function scoped to each module, returning
the URL string. In alignment with browser behavior, this now returns
synchronously.
* Returns: {string} The absolute (`file:`) URL string for the resolved module.

[`import.meta.resolve`][] is a module-relative resolution function scoped to
each module, returning the URL string.
```js
const dependencyAsset = import.meta.resolve('component-lib/asset.css');
// file:https:///app/node_modules/component-lib/asset.css
```
`import.meta.resolve` also accepts a second argument which is the parent module
from which to resolve:
All features of the Node.js module resolution are supported. Dependency
resolutions are subject to the permitted exports resolutions within the package.
```js
import.meta.resolve('./dep', import.meta.url);
// file:https:///app/dep
```
> **Caveat** This can result in synchronous file-system operations, which
> can impact performance similarly to `require.resolve`.
Previously, Node.js implemented an asynchonous resolver which also permitted
a second contextual argument. The implementation has since been updated to be
synchronous, with the second contextual `parent` URL still accessible behind the
`--experimental-import-meta-resolve` flag:
* `parent` {string|URL} An optional absolute parent module URL to resolve from.
