@zaboco/espm

A package manager for ES modules

| ⚠️ | Experimental | This package is an experiment. It is very limited for now, and have known issues. | |:---:|:----------------:| :--- |

Installation

It is recommended to install this tool globally

npm i -g @zaboco/espm

It can also be installed locally, of course:

npm i -D @zaboco/espm

Note: If you do so, you will have to use npx to run the commands. E.g. npx espm install react.

Usage

| ⚠️ | WIP | Only adding TS types is available for now | |:---:| :---:|:--- |

Adding TS types

You can add .d.ts files for packages, without installing them with npm. It fetches the files from a CDN. Also fetches imported types, recursively.

espm add <package>[@version]

Known issues

• Type reference paths are ignored /// <reference path="./foo.d.ts" />. In this case ./foo.d.ts is not downloaded from the CDN
• TS namespace syntax is not supported. For example, espm add preact would fail.
• Scoped packages do not work well. E.g. espm add uvu/assert will not work as intended.
