Import module from folder with deno

I have a npm module with a package.json at my folder ./module When I import that in a file and run it with deno, it throws an error 'error: Is a directory (os error 21)'. Likely this is because my module does not contain an index.js file. Instead it contains a package.json that has some entrypoints pointing to the correct javascript files:

{
    "name": "my-module",
    "main": "../../dist/lib/module/index.js",
    "module": "../../dist/es/module/index.js",
    "es2015": "../../dist/es/module/index.js",
    "jsnext:main": "../../dist/es/module/index.js",
    "types": "../../dist/types/module/index.d.ts",
    "sideEffects": false
}

Running the same code with node.js works as should. I tried several import-maps configurations but they just give the same error.

Is is even possible to import local npm-modules with deno without having to import a specific .js file but the package.json folder?

Solution

  • Is is even possible to import local npm-modules with deno without having to import a specific .js file but the package.json folder?

    As of Deno v1.37.1, it is not currently possible. A path to the local module file must be specified — in either the import specifier or an import map entry.

    This is being tracked on Github at the following issue: denoland/deno#18474
