Deno Module Manager

dmm (pronounced “Dim”) is a Deno module manager. Updating your dependencies within deps.ts and checking if new versions are available hasn’t been easier.

ddm will read your imported/exported modules that sit inside your deps.ts and check them against their latest version if you ask it to, and update them if you want it to.

  • Deno version: 1.0.3
  • Deno std version: 0.54.0

Features

  • Zero dependencies
  • Easy and simple to use
  • Checks dependencies for newer versions
  • Will update your dependencies for you
  • Accounts for 3rd party and std modules
  • No installations required
  • Will be kept up to date and maintained consistently

How to Use

deps.ts Structure

Your deps.ts file must follow Deno’s best practices and coding standards. This includes import statements using double-quotes, and 3rd party modules using a mod.ts as the entry point to their module.

Here is an example of the structure your deps.ts file would follow:

import something from "https://deno.land/x/[module]@[version]/mod.ts";

import something from "https://deno.land/std@[version]/[module]/[file].ts";

export * as colors from "https://deno.land/std@[version]/fmt/colors.ts";

Here’s an example of how your deps.ts file would look like:

import something from "https://deno.land/x/dmm@v0.1.0/mod.ts"; // or "@0.1.0"

import something from "https://deno.land/std@0.54.0/http/mod.ts";

export * as colors from "https://deno.land/std@0.54.0/fmt/colors.ts";
