How to get script url from file being imported in es6 modules javascript?

Question

If some JS code has this

import("path/to/file.js")

and then file.js has this

export default async function() {
    // I want to get "path/to" here
    return {};
}

How can I get the directory of where file.js is?

dynamic imports are useless seeing as export does not wait for them. — Darkrum

export default async function() {
    var current_file = import.meta.url;
    var dir_path = import.meta.url.substring(0, import.meta.url.lastIndexOf("/"));
    return {};
}
