@nodejs-loaders/deno-npm-prefix v1.1.0

npm: prefix loader for Node.js

Environments: dev, test

Compatible APIs: module.register, module.registerHooks

This loader enables loading modules using the npm: prefix in Node.js. This syntax is used most notably by Deno to import npm packages.

There is discussion within Node.js to introduce native support for this feature: nodejs/node#44492

Usage

After installing the loader and registering it with Node.js, you can use the npm: prefix to import modules from npm. For example:

import express from 'npm:express';

!NOTE The resolution still happens in the node_modules directory, so you must have the package installed.
