Support npm: specifiers

[so1ve]

npm: specifiers are stable now, but Deno Deploy still doesn't support it.

Any update on this issue?
Really want to use the npm compatibility on Deno Deploy directly, that's really helpful for dev. 🤞😃

The Deno blog mentions that npm: specifiers will be supported in the future:

I must say, from a fresh user (excuse the pun), this information wasn't obvious to me. Had I been forewarned, I would have avoided the route I ended up taking. Is it possible to make this caveat a bit more visible? What are the isolated issues that need to be closed in order to have this feature?

Looking for other ways to import package so that I can remain on deno deploy. Just when I thought I was done developing :(.

Is there not a way for a warning to appear during deno task start? One which cautions a user that if they are using deno deply, npm specifiers won't be able to be deployed?

[so1ve]

Well, I think there is a workaround: if the deno bundle supports the npm: specifier, we can run the bundle locally and upload it afterwards

I dont think the bundle/pack command supports npm specifiers yet 😢

Status update: we are working towards supporting npm: specifiers in Deno Deploy and it's a priority for us, but it will take time and we don't have an ETA yet.

Is there a way to work around this with import maps?

I have this error

The deployment failed: Module not found "npm:[email protected]".

I tried this import map but no luck:

{
  "imports": {
    "npm:protocol-buffers-schema": "https://esm.sh/[email protected]"
  }
}

@nzoschke I think you would have to do

{
  "imports": {
    "npm:[email protected]": "https://esm.sh/protocol-buffers-schema"
  }
}

I think they just announced npm: specifiers in deno compile as beta, so I hope the next step will be deploy

Perhaps this is what you're referring to @vixalien? Looks like you might be right that support in deno compile is coming, so hopefully support on Deno Deploy won't be far behind!

Update: Deno Deploy supports node builtins now!

[vixalien]

seems it's just node: specifiers and NOT npm: specifiers.

We are working to bring npm specifiers support natively to Deno Deploy. Stay tuned for updates on this soon.

Yes you are right, but node specifiers are already supported, will npm be far away? :)

Are there any new updates on this?

It's finally here.
NPM support on Deno Deploy.
Import over 2 million NPM modules from the edge.
