GitHub - egoist/import-http: Import modules from URL instead of local node_modul...

README.md

Please consider donating to this project's author, EGOIST, to show your ❤️ and support.

Introduction

• Imports source code URLs! Like <script type="module"> and Deno but implemented in webpack. Embracing the future :)

  import template from 'https://unpkg.com/lodash/template'
  
  console.log(template(`Hello <%= name %>`)({ name: 'EGOIST' }))

  Remote code is fetched and cached on first build, and never updated until you use the reload option. See more about Caching.

• No more node_modules bloat, no dependency to install.

Install

yarn add import-http --dev

Usage

Webpack

In your webpack.config.js:

const ImportHttpWebpackPlugin = require('import-http/webpack')

module.exports = {
  plugins: [new ImportHttpWebpackPlugin()]
}

That's it, try following code:

import React from 'https://unpkg.com/react'
import Vue from 'https://unpkg.com/vue'

console.log(React, Vue)

Run webpack and it just works.

Rollup

In your rollup.config.js:

export default {
  plugins: [require('import-http/rollup')()]
}

Caching

Resources will be fetched at the very first build, then the response will be cached in ~/.import-http dir. You can use the reload option to invalidate cache:

const ImportHttpWebpackPlugin = require('import-http/webpack')

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new ImportHttpWebpackPlugin({
      reload: process.env.RELOAD
    })
  ]
}

Then run RELOAD=true webpack to update cache.
