depl.to

Serve an SPA with node_modules and zero config as a service (wip)

First, go to depl.to and connect with github.

Then, this is usage of depl.to from start to finish:

1. mkdir example && cd example
2. npm init
3. git init
4. git remote add origin [email protected]:owner/repo.git
5. touch index.html
6. Edit index.html to your liking.
7. Optional: Use npm i grainbox to get SPA capabilities.
8. git add . && git commit -m "init"
9. git push -u origin master

Your website is now available at https://repo.owner.depl.to

How it works

depl.to supports import statements with bare specifiers so that the browser can import from node_modules. It does this by transforming files during a request using web-imports.

Using the package.json in the github repo, it generates a copy of node_modules in a cache, and that is where node_modules is served from.
