esbuild-plugin-deno-remote-import

This is an esbuild plugin to fetch remote imports for Deno. It was designed for cases when Deno is used for development but the application will run in a browser. It comes with the same caching approach that Deno uses when fetching from remote URLs, proper handling of stale caches and HTTP redirects.

Take care of setting up the value of DENO_DIR as it is recommended to ensure consistency between the plugin’s and Deno’s cache locations, if you’re interested.

Usage

import { esbuild } from "https://deno.land/x/esbuild@v0.17.11/mod.js";
import { denoRemoteImport } from "https://deno.land/x/esbuild_plugin_deno_remote_import";

await esbuild.build({
    plugins: [denoRemoteImport()],
    bundle: true,
    // etc...
});

esbuild.stop();

See the example file and tests for more details.

Permissions

The following permissions are required:

• --allow-read in order to read caches.
• --allow-write in order to write caches.
• --allow-env in order to determine the location of Deno or user home.
• --allow-net to fetch from remote addresses.

If the program is run with --allow-run, the plugin will use the deno binary to resolve remote files. This allows the plugin to re-use the Deno module cache.
