Anyone got a link to documentation explaining exactly how ES6 import is supposed to work with npm packages (as opposed to javascript module files) ?
Also (and possibly related) a link to documentation on the use/significance of "module" as a top-level key in an npm package.json file ?
Eg. consider the following from juggle/resize-observer ;
package.json
{
...
"module": "lib/exports/resize-observer.js",
...
}
consumer javascript file
import { ResizeObserver } from '#juggle/resize-observer';
On the above import Chrome sends a request to the server for '#juggle/resize-observer' which is a directory..... so what happens next ? (I don't have a working instance of this and my server doesn't return anything yet as I don't know what it's supposed to / in what format ). Is this syntax only for use with some sort of build tool where it ultimately gets replaced with the actual file ?
I have looked at the npm site/googled and cannot find any relevant documentation.
UPDATE Still waiting for a link to relevant documentation (no relevant Google results at this time) but for anyone asking the same question: apparently you need your server to do "module resolution" . Alternatively you can use Snowpack or a bundler eg. Webpack.
Apparently npm/node packages are not packaged with browsers in mind or based on any W3C/Web Modules standard specification.
See here for module resolution info.
So at present to use an npm package in a browser you must do one of the following
use a bundler like webpack
use snowpack
use a CDN which resolves the module request
implement npm module resolution in your own server
Find the package entry point and use that in your ES6 import statement.
However, if the package's json "main" property changes in a subsequent update you
will need to update your code to reflect this.

I've written several npm library projects, and this is the way I import symbols in one JS file from another JS file, but it won't work in the script section of a svelte file:
My 'package.json' file has a name field (e.g. set to '#jdeighan/something`) and an 'exports' section with entries like "./utils": "./src/lib/utils.js". Then in any other JS file I can import symbols from utils.js with "import {somesymbol} from '#jdeighan/something/utils'. It's how to do imports from a library that you've installed with 'npm install', but it also (cleverly) works inside the project itself. But in a svelte file, this won't work - I get the error message "Failed to resolve import "#jdeighan/something/utils" from "src\routes+page.svelte". Does the file exist?". Here is what I have in my svelte file:
<script>
import {somesymbol} from '#jdeighan/something/utils';
</script>
I know that svelte has a handy $lib alias, but I'd prefer to use the npm standard mechanism, but it seems to be broken when using SvelteKit (not sure about using plain svelte)
I'd prefer to use the npm standard mechanism
This is absolutely not the standard mechanism. I have never seen people import from the current project by package name. While this is supported by Node itself, nothing else seems to support it, including e.g. the VS Code language server which will be unable to provide code navigation.
Using the name makes it less clear that the import is local and not a separate dependency and if the name were to be changed it would have to be adjusted everywhere.
I would recommend just not doing that. SvelteKit has $lib predefined as a default to provide essentially the same functionality in a convention-based way that actually works.
If you create a project with just these 3 files, then execute node foo.js in a console window, you get "Hello, World!":
package.json:
{
"name": "#jdeighan/something",
"type": "module",
"version": "1.0.0",
"exports": {
"./utils": "./utils.js"
}
}
foo.js:
import {message} from '#jdeighan/something/utils'
console.log(message);
utils.js
export let message = 'Hello, World!';
I am attempting to get the volar vue language server to work in place of vetur for neovim's native lsp.
Using both lspconfig and lspinstall I was able to create a working custom install for sumneko_lua (unrelated but had to manually build due to some issues with the built-in :LspInstall lua). Below is that code duplicated and modified for an attempt at using this new vue server:
local vue_config = require'lspinstall/util'.extract_config('vuels')
vue_config.default_config.cmd = {'node', './node_modules/vscode-vue-languageservice/out/index.js', '--stdio'}
require'lspinstall/servers'.newvue = vim.tbl_extend('error', vue_config, {
install_script = [[
! test -f package.json && npm init -y --scope=lspinstall || true
npm install vscode-vue-languageservice#latest
]],
uninstall_script = nil
})
Running :LspInstall newvue installs properly, however :LspInfo shows this language server is attached to the buffer (of a .vue file) but not active. I believe the issue is with this path: ./node_modules/vscode-vue-languageservice/out/index.js. It exists, but may not be the correct entry point? The default vue ls simply has vls as the command because it provides a binary. Am I missing something in this package? I have yet to come across another language server without a single binary to pick out.
Thanks!
Can you try an absolute path to the out.js file? In my pretty elaborate config for a custom Volar install I'm using something just /home/myuser/dev/volar/packages/server/out/index.js (where the volar folder is just the whole volar cloned github repo). My full config is here
I don't think you can use relative paths like you did. I know you're assuming that the "./node_modules" means "workspace directory" but it's hard to tell in which directory nvim-lspconfig opens up those executables.
I have yet to come across another language server without a single binary to pick out.
Volar also provides a binary, it's volar-server (after running npm i -g #volar/server), it's just with a custom install (ie. alongside the real volar) you can't use it, because I assume you want to use your local install with custom code.
As for more indepth debugging/logging, you can check ~/.cache/nvim/lsp.log to see why the language server dies in detail.
I've googled many sites but cannot found a tutorial that actually works for react-native + flow type.
There was flow installation guide from react-native#0.22 document, but it's gone in react-native#0.46.
However, it comes up again in Running Tests and Contributing, I tested to run npm run flow but not working, and yet it doesn't say how to make it works. It's possibly been a missing part inside of react-native documentation.
What I need is to run flow correctly with react-native. Auto-check flow every time I reload the page with ⌘R would be the best.
I just finished covering half of our project by flow and we use RN 0.44.0.
The tricky part is: do you also want to know errors inside node_modules, someone says those errors are helpful.
Anyway, I disable the error in node_modules, and here is my .flowconfig:
[ignore]
<PROJECT_ROOT>/node_modules/.*
<PROJECT_ROOT>/flowLibs.js
.....
[include]
[libs]
./flowLibs.js
.....
[lints]
[options]
You should install flow first if you not setup correctly,
npm install --save-dev flow-bin
and also run this in you project root after install:
npm run flow init
If npm run flow init does not work, just add "flow": "flow" in npm scripts.
After init, put my .flowconfig in your project .flowconfig file.
Then create a js file flowLibs.js and if npm run flow check cause your any error like Module_Name. Required module not found
Write down code in flowLibs.js:
declare module 'Module_Name' { declare var exports: any; };
After that, you should be good to go with you project now.
BTW, don't forget add //#flow on the top of the file which you want to check type.
I found flowtype is built in with react-native#0.46+.
For react-native document, I think they should at least tell flowtype is already built in. And for the rest document ex: Testing Your Changes#flow, it won't work without flow-bin, they should mention that too.
To make flowtype of best use, I use it with Visual Studio Code.
Steps:
Install flow-bin globally, by npm i flow-bin -g.
Make sure your terminal is responsive to command flow.
Install vscode flow extension.
Set vscode workspace preference with "javascript.validate.enable": false, to disable default javascript validation, so flow validation can take place.
To access vscode preference, ALT+F,P,S for windows, ⌘+, for mac.
then you have flowtype installed with visual result with every key stroke:

There is a javascript library, pre-built and available on npm, that I wish to develop with/debug. In my case, it is openlayers.
In the classic way of requiring a javascript file and wanting to debug, one would just switch the script url from the production version to the debug version, ie:
to
However, when using webpack and then importing via npm:
import openlayers from 'openlayers'
Gets you the production distribution of the library, the same as the ol.js script from above.
On a side note, to stop webpack trying to parse a prebuilt library and throw a warning about that you must include something like this:
// Squash OL whinging
webpackConfig.module.noParse = [
/\/dist\/ol.*\.js/, // openlayers is pre-built
]
Back to the problem at hand: how can I conditionally load a different entry-point for a module prebuilt and imported like this?
Of course, I can do it in a hacky way. By going into the node_modules/openlayers/package.json and switching the browser field from
"browser": "dist/ol.js",
to
"browser": "dist/ol-debug.js",
Is there a way I can request a different entry point via webpack or by using a different import syntax? Do I first have to petition the library maintainers to update the browser field to allow different entry point hints to browsers, according to the spec? https://github.com/defunctzombie/package-browser-field-spec
Thoughts on a more effective way to make this happen? Yearning to be able to programmatically switch loading of the production and debug versions of a library based on env variables.
Webpack has configuration options for replacing a module into a different path: https://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#resolve-alias
This resolves the openlayers import to use the debug version:
webpackConfig.resolve.alias: {
openlayers: 'openlayers/dist/ol-debug.js'
}
In my build system I have a function that takes the environment type and returns the matching webpackConfig. Based on the parameter I include the above snippet or not.
Full code: webpack-multi-config.js
I have two different (gulp-) tasks for development and production. For example the production task: webpackProduction.js
Line 1 imports the config script with production as type.
My build system is based on gulp starter.
I would like to be able to read cells from a Google Sheet inside my Node-RED project. I've tried including the node"google-spreadsheet" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-spreadsheet) in my package.json, and used it in a Node-RED function, but no luck. It is likely I am formatting the node.js invocations for this function incorrectly. I was hoping someone had a working example I could refer to (i.e. a Node-RED project pulling data from Google Sheets).
To use npm modules in the Function node you need to include them in your settings.js file so they can be added to the Function node context.
Details of how to do this can be found in the doc here
e.g. to add the os module to the function context you need to add the following to the functionGlobalContext section of the settings.js file:
...
functionGlobalContext: {
osModule:require('os')
}
...
