deno2node

Transpiles Deno projects into .js and .d.ts for Node.js.

Motivation

Writing libraries Deno-first makes it easy to publish to https://deno.land/x, and simplifies development experience:

Deno […] requires no explicit transpilation step, and ships with 0conf tooling that works well together.

$ deno run \
  --no-check \
  --unstable  \
  --allow-read \
  --allow-write  \
  https://deno.land/x/deno2node/src/cli.ts \
  <tsConfigFilePath>

As a by-product of end-to-end testing, Node.js build is also available:

$ npm install --save-dev --save-prefix='~' deno2node

$ deno2node <tsConfigFilePath>

tsconfig.json is used to specify compilerOptions and source files to include.

API reference explains transformations and configuration.

Note: output and diagnostics will change across minor versions.

To use Deno globals not available in Node.js, create and register a file exporting all the shims you need:

// @filename: src/shim.node.ts
export * from "deno.ns";
export * from "node-fetch";
export { default as fetch } from "node-fetch";

// @filename: tsconfig.json
{
  "deno2node": {
    "shim": "src/shim.node.ts" // path to shim file, relative to tsconfig
  }
}
